    2.7 Bullseye slide and Winchester 231

    Just thinking to the future.
    Have Bullseye and have LOTS of 231
    Has anyone got the drop weight of 231 in the 2.7 Bullseye slide?
    I would suspect about 3.1 or 3.2 grains??

    Thanks
    Mike

    p.s. Yes, I know to verify with a proper scale

    A fixed volume of W231 weighs pretty close to 10% more than the same volume of BE.

    You'll get 3.1 grains W231 compared to 2.7 grains BE.

    I have always done and was told (many many years ago) that you drop 231 right into your machine that is set up for bullseye. It has worked for me for 30 years now. Sometimes I have 231 around and sometimes bullseye.
