Roger Rapid Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Anyone using Bullseye for CAS .38 loads? If so, got a good recipe with 120's? Thx... RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I used 4.5 gr (four point five grains) of Bullseye with 125 grain in both .38 & .357 cases before I ran out and switched to Cleanshot. You could probably back it down to 4.0 (Four point zero) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I use BE in the Cowboy .45 Special, with 4,2 grains under a 175 grain slug. I'm sure in .38 you can use a fair amount less than that with excellent consistency and accuracy. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Badly Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 3.5 gr with a 130 bullet works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yup. Similar load to Mister Baldy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I no longer se Bullseye but when I did two years ago I used 2.9 with 105s and 120s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’ve shot thousands with 3.0 bullseye. It’s a good powder for our game. I’ve never found it to be position or temperature sensitive. Does not come close to filling case, so be careful not to double charge. I’ve used regular and magnum primers, no difference. I shoot 105s in my pistols, 130s in rifle, both same powder charge of 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 3.5 under a 125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 2.7 grains of Bullseye under a 158 grain bullet works dandy on pistol knockdowns. Yes, clubs here still use pistol knockdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 My Lyman manual says 3.2 gr. for a 125 gr. bullet for about 750 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe Regulator Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook shows 120 gr bullet with 2.8 gr at 690 fps minimum, 4.6 max at about 1000 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
