I've been searching around trying to figure out an estimated velocity for a 7.62x39 with 4.6 gr. of Bullseye under a pb Saeco 315, 175 gr. Can't find a thing. Any help? Thanks.

I would think that Bullseye would be too fast of a powder. Never have tried bullseye in my AK and probably never will. I stick to slow burning IMR 4895 and fill up the case. Works well and powder works great in my .30-06 as well. Sorry I can't be of any help here. Lol. BC

i'll take a stab at @ 900 fps.

I'm calling it 900. Shot that load in a CBA postal match from my H&R. Accuracy wasn't up to what I get with gas checked boolits but fair. Just not consistent enough to win any money.

with a jacketed 168 grain bullet, they fail to realize bullets have been replaced by BOOLITS . . .

1056 fps and 14000+ PSI pressure with a 16" barrel

I have found QuickLOAD to be pretty accurate for velocity, but pressures may vary GREATLY from powder producers posted results.

I have heard of some yahoo using Bullseye in a 7 mm Mag with GB RNFP GC boolits.
Heard he shot almost a thousand of them last winter. I think he even cut down a couple of small trees that were in way on his range too.

I guess Bullseye will do more than folks think it will, one just has to be extra careful how much goes in each and EVERY case.

I've had excellent results using BE in light loads in a Finn M39.
