Free office program LibreOffice 7.5 latest release, cross compatible with MS Office.
Did a little selective formatting.

The only rifle I have ever used Bullseye in is .22 Hornet. Two grains of it and a 45 grain plain based bullet makes a nice squirrel load.
As to being fearful of double chargung, if one can' ensure the correct amiunt of powder is going into the case, he shouldn'tbe reloading ammo. Develop a sysrem, several methods have been mentioned inthis thread.

The key to using fast-burners is to use a charge in which a double-load will not blow up the gun, but only lead the barrel. And, of course, to use only strong guns which support the case well.
26 grains of Red Dot with Ball M2 bullet in an '06 is absolutely NOT recommended, but I did test it. It swelled the primer pocket and dropped the primer, accompanied by hard bolt opening. The 1944 Remimgton 03A3 test rifle was not harmed. Pressure approximated a proof load.
HUGE fan of this concept. I've learned most from the writings of @Outpost75 and some from a few others.
Since I was not paying enough attention when powder was $20/#, I have very little Bullseye left and do most of my work with Unique. One of these days, I'll get me an 8# jug of Bullseye, 2400 and some more Unique, but until then, I'll use what I have. My most-used loads are loads of this type. Quiet, easy on the budget, effective and very educational.
For anyone who does not have, doesn't want to have or can't afford MS Office products, I've been using Libre Office, which is an open-source software (free) and find that it is intuitive, easy to use and has features I like just fine. When I clicked on the link, my computer opened it in Libre Writer automatically, which is a word-processing software, Like MS Word. Download it from a trusted source to stay out of trouble.

I shoot 3.0 to 3.5 grs. Bullseye with the Lee .314" 90 gr. SWC sized accordingly to the caliber in 30-30, 30-06. 300 Sav. 7.62 x 39 and 54r. MV is approximately that of standard velocity 22 rf ammo, with a bullet twice the normal weight.

What I do with charges like that,is weigh the charge,dump in in the case and seat the bullet. Then on to the next case,and do the same. Everything is logged in my manual. Cartridge box number,load data,etc. Works for me.
The '06 may well be the well-deserved King of Cartridges, but the humble 30/30 wins my heart - just because of stuff like this.

The .30-06 is truly God's cartridge, nothing does what it can do over a broad range of tasks as well. That said, for strictly cast, I think the .30-30 or .30-40 Krag might have the edge.

the versatility of the 0-6 is truly amazing.
it easily matches the 32-20, and then will throw a 150gr. jacketed bullet to about 3-K fps. without much trouble.
it will even launch heavier stuff out to 1-K yds. accurately.
the other 30's will do a few things better here and there,,, but across the board? they can't.

From my view point, the 30/30 and 30/40 are always at their best in the single shot rifles that require a rimmed cartridge.

But the 303 Savage brass is so hard to find nowadays.
