| How well does this stuff meter? Was trying to decide between this and 231 for a newbie loading .45 ACP, but noboby has 231 in stock. |

Quoted:
Bullseye meters well if there is no static on the powder measure reservoir. But that is true for most gunpowder. This... I use the Lee Auto Disks as well. Taking a regular pencil and scrubbing surfaces that powder comes into contact w/ the graphite cuts down on the static electricity. |

I use bullseye for 38 and 9mm. I have not had very good luck with it metering for me. All my 38's are weighed for league shooting. 9mm it gets close enough for plinking rounds but i have charges vary +-.2 grains with most being most being within a .1 of a grain . Not bad, but not as good as some ball powders I use.
EDIT: most being within a .1 of a grain |

I also have the +/- .2 grains I usually load the max on a 125 rn mainly becasue the disk either does min or max the minimum load does not cycle my FNP9 properly so I run the max I haven thas any problems with over charge. Its smokey and shooting hard cast makes it even smokier. but its cheap |

I also use Bullseye for .38 Spcl, 9mm, .45 ACP, and I have never had any problems with variance. I used an RCBS Uniflow and Lee Autodisc and Autodisc Pro. I have wiped the inside of the Uniflow with a dryer anti static sheet and then run a hopper full of powder through the measure and that seems to end static problems. I followed Lee's direction and washed the Autodisc in warm water and Dawn dishwashing liquid, after drying it off I ran a hopper full of powder through it, and I occasionally wipe it down with a dry sheet. These procedures seem to alleviate most of the variance in powder drop weight. Bullseye is one of my favorites, and little goes a long way.

I use it in .45ACP in a Dillon 550B because it meters so well.
I was using Unique in my .45 Colt cowboy loads, but I'm going to be loading them on the Dillon in the future, so I've switched over to Bullseye for those loads also. Unique is a flake, and does not throw a consistent charge out of any of my meters. I have way too many different powders that I bought during load development. I'm trying to narrow them down, and Bullseye is a keeper. I'm hanging on to Titegroup for my .38 and .357 loads. It also meters really well. |
