Clean burning, twice the loft as TG for the same wt. charge & the best accuracy & have ever seen in the 45acp w/ lead or jacketed bullets.
4.8gr under a 200grLSWC
4.6gr under a 230grLRN
4.7gr under a 230grFMJ
Because in my guns (.45 LW Commander and .38 4in M-15) I cannot get the tight grouping with Clays, WST, or TiteGroup. Bullseye is more consistent and gives me better accuracy than the others with my bullet choices in 148 HBWC and 200 grn SWC.
