Hi guys,
My powder of choice has been Alliant Bullseye, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I went to one of the big “box” sportsman supply stores, and the salesman told a story of some element of gunpowder being used in fracking, and between that and all the demand for shotgun shells, there are shortages of some powders...blah, blah, blah. Anyway, he suggested Alliant's “Power Pistol”. He said that charge weights and velocities for a given bullet are identical between Bullseye and Power Pistol, and then showed me the listings in a book he had on the desk and it looked as though he was right. I bought Power Pistol. However, once I got home and looked in the ole' Lyman's 49th, there's actually very scant mention of the use of Power Pistol in any of the chamberings I'm interested in, and what is shown is definitely different from Bullseye. I currently load for .32 ACP (71 gr. FMJ) and .32 Long (100 gr. RN-FP coated), and if I win an auction I'm bidding, I'll soon be loading for 380 ACP. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks...
