estate find

I found some old bullseye 4 pounds at 35 bucks have never used bullseye in rifle for cast bullets what do you think get some?

[Tom W.]

I use it for fire forming my 30/30 A.I. with a cast 160-170 grain boolit. It does really well at 50 yards. Accurate with very little recoil. I don't shoot any lighter boolit because I don't have a mold....

[Jlw6636]

Go for it! Sure you could find a use or pass on a good deal for someone who would.

[skeettx]

Good deal, use in in your pistol loads, too fast for most rifles

I've used Unique in reduced loads for grandsons and fire forming, but never Bullseye--didn't have the data on it. Maybe someone on the Forum does. Have to be careful, as they are reduced, with 5-8 grains of powder in a big case--30/30, 357 Herrett, etc. Some use fillers to keep the powder down around the base. I used a 180 grain FB in mine. Never chronographed them. Just fun stuff for little ones to shoot.

It was specifically developed for the govt. in .45ACP during the early 1900's,
and very useful in lots of other chamberings.

great for light rifle loads

[Rich/WIS]

Use in 06, 30/40AI and 243 for mouse fart loads. Five in the 06 and 30/40 AI and four in the 243. Works with any normal weight cast bullet for caliber. Use 3.1 with a SWC 190gr cast in my 1911, with reduced power springs. 4.5 should work a 200 SWC with factory springs. Meters well and you get a lot of shots per pound.

A couple of months ago I did an article with Ed Harris's help in the CBA's Fouling Shot. I compared Bullseye and TiteGroup in reduced 30 caliber loads. (spoiler alert) It was a dead heat, enough so that they could be used interchangeably and smaller cases seemed to work the best. 30-30-7.62X39 worked better than .308-30-06. Gp

Bullseye works for mild, plainbased small game and gallery loads in most rifle cartridges:

The RCBS Little Dandy measure uses interchangeable, drums or rotors to throw a fixed powder charge. The correct rotor is selected in accordance with a table, which lists the nominal charge weight thrown by each numbered rotor, using various powders.
Always check the charge weight of YOUR drum against a reliable powder scale. I drop TEN charges onto the scale pan and mentally move the decimal. The drums are usually spot-on to the stated charge weight, or not more than 0.1 grain under. I have never found one which threw more than its stated charge weight.

Once the charge weight thrown by your particular measure has been verified, some users leave the measures set up, or package the specific drum in the die box of the caliber in which it is suited. I use the same drums in multiple applications, so I therefore, I post this charge table in my loading area:

These are the rotors I use with my RCBS Little Dandy powder measure and the loads they are used for:

#00=1.7 Bullseye, practice load for .32 ACP with Accurate 31-087T or 31-090B (OK for steady use in light alloy frames),
Also “mild” indoor gallery load with above bullets in .32 S&W Long for old pre WW2 S&W Hand Ejector.

#0 = 2.1 Bullseye, full charge for .32 ACP and pre WW2 S&W .32 Long Hand Ejector with Accurate 31-087T or 31-090B (steel frames only).

#6 = 3.8 Bullseye, start load for .45 ACP mid-range 190-grain lead wadcutter

#7 = 4.0 Bullseye for +P .38 Spl. 158 Lead, and as 146 DEWC “full charge wadcutter” for use in .357 guns.

#8 = 4.5 Bullseye Standard load for. 45 ACP 200-230 grain lead,and .38 +P equivalent in .357 brass with 150 to 180 grain LFN.

#9 = 5.0 Bullseye Standard charge in .45 ACP for 230-grain FMJ hardball, full charge DEWC for .357 brass.
Minimum charge for JACKETED bullet for “cat sneeze” for any .30 cal. rifle from 7.62x39 to .30-’06

#12 = 6.5 Bullseye standard charge for. 45 Colt 250 LFN, 200-grain .44-40, .44 Mag 240-gr. “medium” velocity.

#13 = 7.2 Bullseye, Maximum charge .45 Colt 250-gr., Subsonic gallery load with cast lead in 30-’06.

Approximates .38-55 Winchester in .375 H&H with #375449 and suppressed load .45-70 with 405-grain SP bullet in .458 Winchester.

[CastingFool]

I use 4.0 gr of BE, with the 9mm hytek 115 gr boolits I buy from Casting Machine.

[RED BEAR]

At that price you can find a use. If nothing else its a good excuse to buy a new gun.

got some thanks for all the replies

I use two grains of Bullseye and a 45 grain plain based bullet in .22 Hornet for squirrels and small game. Works great, meters very precisely because of the fine granulation.

As mentioned, it is awesome in .45 ACP and for most small to medium pistol cases. Best stuff I ever found for .38 Special wadcutter loads.
