No more Bullseye! What are you switching to?

[Tabby Lynn]

Alliant has not discontinued it, but has not produced it in a while, so whatever is on a dealer's shelf is it until Alliant makes another production run of Bullseye.

It is still being made and by no means discontinued.

Currently the bulk of the issue with powder (all powder companies) is the Lack of Nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is a key component in double base powders. All our powders are double base. The shortage of Nitrocellulose is caused from supply and demand. There are only two suppliers that manufacture Nitrocellulose. One out of the two currently shut down for the foreseeable future. Causing our current shortage. We only sell to distributors, who then sell to retailers. Distributors can sale any where at any time. They do not share that information with us.

Tabby, I got the exact same response from Perry L. when I emailed Alliant a few days ago and asked about Unique. Perry must have it programmed on a burst key.

Good to know, have been using Bullseye powder since the early 1970’s

I don't know who started this rumor, but it seems that it has caused a bit of a panic throughout those who believe everything that they hear. I have been using Bullseye since 1972 in my 38/357/45 target loads. It meters accurately, is consistent and most importantly makes for super accurate loads. Let the others panic. at 2000 rounds per pound I have sufficient available to last me several years.

Just seen 8 pound containers of Bullseye for $320 at local shop in Arkansas

After sixty years of handloading, I've found no powder that can't be replaced when it comes to accuracy and velocity, the two most important factors, with accuracy being a good bit more important than velocity. This is more true today than ever before. We have a glut of duplicative powders that are marketed and available. It just takes trying several to get where you want to be.

I have been reloading since 1979. I was flabergasted to learn there will be no more Bullseye Powder. I used it for everything from .380 to .38 special, .357 mag, .45 ACP, .45 Colt etc. What are you going to switch to when your supply of Bullseye runs out?

I've already switched to Tite Group and 231. Sure wish I could find Unique. Great for .357 Mag and .44 Spl. and Mag.

I have about 12 lbs of BE but I switched to N310 before the shortage issue for my Bullseye loads it is extremely accurate and clean with my Chey-Cast 200 SWC HI-Tek coated bullets. I actually just found another four pound jug of 310 for 160 out the door but they only had one left or I would have got a few more of the same lot.
Speaking of powders I was lucky and found 3lbs of 700X which I never tried and 15 lbs of Unique for 200 bucks the 700X interests me for my bullseye loads but with only 3lbs I'm not sure I want to fall in love with it only to never find anymore of it!!
