Most people aren't aware of the versatility and economy of the faster pistol and shotgun propellants like Bullseye and Red Dot. They can be used to make effective (but not necessarily maximum) loads in ANY handgun caliber from .32 ACP to .44 Magnum. They are also very good for light loads in virtually any CF rifle caliber from .30-30 upwards with any bullet. 13 to 14 grain loads of any of them in a CF rifle case of your choice will give you essentially black powder ballistics of 1200 to 1400 ft/sec, good enough for any short-range hunting. And a pound of powder will last forever. Remember that last statement when you think about stockpiling.
