For Bullseye data you will have to go see Alliants older data. Here are links to the previous .45 acp data and the 9mm data published in 2000 with data for Bullseye and lead bullets that I've put on my FTP space. Save a copy to your PC as I can't guarantee they'll be there too long.

It does have data but not for Bullseye since it's not a Hodgdon/IMR/Winchester powder...
You can get Bullsyey load data from the Alliant Load Data Site. I also suggest you buy a load manual because it's always good to have more than 1 source of data. You also shouldn't trust people you don't know posting data on the Internet. Always double check for yourself Butch56...
Good luck.

Exactly! Never trust any of us! Some of us are secret foreign agents that are trying to blow up Americans one reloader at a time! 
Just kidding but it is a very true statement that ArchAngel has made. Being humans, we can make mistakes too. The "checks and balances" in this hobby is knowing how to find that data for yourself, then asking for suggestions.
Each of the powder companies have their own data website.

There are also sites that are dedicated to providing reloading data.
One is called handloads.com, no subscription needed. Another is loaddata.com, this one requires a paid subscription but is WELL worth it. The data provided here comes from all of the powder, bullet and manual publishers but also includes the data tested in Handloader, Rifle and Successful Hunter magazines. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 for a year.
Those are some links you need to save to your "Favorites" folder.
Hope this helps.
p.s. Bullseye is a superb powder for both of the calibers you listed. It is the first powder I ever used and will make some wonderful target loads for both the 45ACP and the 9mm. If you want +P or magnum type loads though, it isn't the powder to use for that. In this case, or rather in either of the cases you are trying to load, too much of a good thing is a bad thing! If you get my drift.
Have fun, be safe!

Never used them. Have you?

I gave Zip a try and liked it but that's because it acts just like W231. As a matter of fact it's made in the same St. Marks powder plant as W231. Let me see, it's a Ball Powder just like W231, it has the same burn rate and is made in the same plant... Hmmm.
Other than Zip I haven't tried any of their other powders but that's because they aren't easily available here. I have heard good things about them and would probably give them a chance if I could get their powders.

I bought a one load one book for all the calibers I load. Wealth of information in those books. Bullseye is great for target/plinking in 9mm and .45.

Have you looked at the Alliant Powder website? If you have problems PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the pages from the Aliant 2005 manual.
