The standard load for the mighty ACP for many years was with Bullseye. There'll be loads of loads in any manual.

Knowing that a jacketed bullet is many times harder than the hardest of hard boolit, I've allways just transposed a near load for a jacketed to the similar weight boolit.

The classic load with Bullseye has been 3.5 grains, especially for somewhat lighter bullets of SWC design....185-215 grains. Some shooters say that 4.0 will handle the wind better at 50 yards. For the slightly heavier GI style roundnoses...the RCBS and the H&G #34 I have had good results using 4.0 of Bullseye and/or 4.1 grains of Red Dot. LLS
