Actually it's less of a "Bullseye Hazard", as the article confirms, and more of a "double charge, bullet seated too deeply, doofus reloader, hazard". I'd dare say a compressed double charge of almost ANY propellant would result in catastrophic failure of a revolver.

Lol yea main purpose was for people to see the pressures an the hazard of a double

I don´t like the Bullseye, but only for the reason that i can´t work out a good load for my .45ACP with my 200grs SWC bullets.

2.5 gr. bullseye behind a 120 gr. rn, 140 gr swc, 148 gr wc, 150 gr swc, 158 gr swc seems to work good for me. I fill 50 cases and check level under a lamp before placing boolits in cases. I guess that's one good thing about single staging.

...or to work with a Powder-Check-System at your Dillon like i do!

Beldran what did you throw a double of the other day?

clays

Bullseye is one of my favorites..mainly because its super cheap....so is Unique

But I don't recommend it for newbies because its so ez to double it

I use nothing but Unique and Trail Boss in my pistol loads now.

Love trailboss!!

TiteGroup is my choice!

I'm very fond of Unique too. It's so versatile. It may not be ideal in every situation but you can make it do a lot of stuff from .38 plinking loads to 9mm to .357 to .45, and most anything in between. If you were limited to just one powder Unique would be a good one to have.

We've said this before if the world was coming to an end and I could only have one pistol powder....it would be Unique

2nd choice would be bullseye...mainly due to how economical it is....but you gotta respect it

Trail boss is growing on me....it was overdue...just wish they'd sell it in a 1 lb instead of 9 oz
