Question on powders.

[alwslate]

I don't know about originally but Bullseye is a fine powder
for light 12 ga loads. The old Hercules manuals had loads
for 1 oz 12 ga loads with Bullseye and my 1996 Alliant
manual has 7/8 oz loads and lots of 1 oz loads.

No Bullseye was a pistol powder to begin with. Hercules had some data for one ounce loads in 12 ga . IIRC Bullseye was a powder that was loaded in 45 auto gummit ammo at the arsenals way back when. I do have oldtimers so not exactly certain of the gummit use..but I do know it was and is a pistol powder. And a good one. It does contain a large percentage of NG in its formula

Both of those powders are good handgun powders for mid range target loads.
