Wesquire Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 After a week or so of trying to find more red dot, I just decided to buy the 8lbs of Bullseye at my LGS. My G34 was making minor with 2.8gr Red Dot w/ BBI 147s. Bullseye is a tad slower. Think I should start with 2.9,3.0,or 3.1? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJE Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I use 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHI Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I use 3.0 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesquire Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I use 3.0. I use 3.0 also. What PF do you get? I typically load to the bare legal minimum for local matches. Not sure why, you can barely feel a difference between 135 and 125, but I think mentally I like knowing that I'm getting the max advantage.

dave33 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I just got some bullseye to try out and 147gr lead was what I tried it in. It was very soft shooting and seems as accurate as any other powder I have used. My usual powder is titegroup or sr7625 and I would have no trouble switching to bullseye if needed. First load was 2.7gr, Lucky13 147gr LRN, 1.135OAL. Min FPS-823, Max FPS-854, Ave FPS-841, Standard Dev-9.3, Ave PF-123.6 2nd load was 3.0gr, Lucky13 147gr LRN, 1.135 OAL. Min FPS-870, Max FPS-903, Ave FPS-891, Standard Dev-9.6, Ave PF-130.9 3rd load was 3.0gr, Lucky13 powder coated 147gr LRN, 1.135 OAL. Min FPS-866, Max FPS-898, Ave FPS-878, Standard Dev-10.8, Ave PF-129.0 This was shot out of my XDM 5.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 PF 128 to 135 depends on who's crono and witch gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJE Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) 138pf out of my Glock 34. I also test them out of my G26 just in case I ever need it as a backup gun or something... plus I shoot that in Subcompact division for GSSF. Power factor doesn't matter there but it does need to function reliably. The Standard Deviation for Bullseye is lower than any other powder I've used since I started loading. ETA: I was using the 147gr round nose from Blue Bullets... they weigh out closer to 149 so I used that for the calculation.

aandabooks Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I used to use Bullseye and 147gr FP coated from S&S. Too smokey for our indoor matches. Accuracy was good with 3.2gr with the bullet seated to 1.110". Tried to go longer for my SA XDM 5.25" but the bullet would be in the rifling.

accu9 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I load 3.2gr Bullseye at 1.135 OAL with 147gr coated Blue Bullet. 135 PF and very, very soft shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
