I havent gotten around to trying bullseye yet but I plan to. Have shot some with 3.0 titegroup that were accurate.

Lyman lists 3.5 bullseye as a max load but they have a pretty short OAL so take that into account.

Still experimenting myself, plan on trying Bullseye and Unique at least. Havent decided on a load yet that makes me want to load up a bunch.

Nope. I use this 9x19 load for steel matches, range plinking, and will also use it for IDPA this Spring and Summer.

I just casted 650 more of them from my Lee 6-cavity mold. I will give them a Lee liquid alox bath tonight after the AFC Championship is over. I'll size them on Wednesday with my Lee sizer die setup on my RCBS Rock Chucker press.

One day I shall load them ahead of 2.7gr Hodgdon TiteGroup and WWSP primers. They chronograph at 825 FPS, enough for the IDPA power floor for the SSP class.

With the mild velocity and Lee alox lube, there is very little leading in my stock G17 barrel.
