Unbelievable generosity

[S Mac]

I will have to try the 3.gr of HP 38, I think it was @Dusty Bannister suggested a 2.3 gr of WST load for 38 Spl a couple of years ago, I happen to have a keg of that, works well for a mild load.

 

[Dusty Bannister]

Sorry, I do not think that was me. I have never used WST.

 

[S Mac]

Sorry @Dusty Bannister , I misremembered I guess.

 

[Ian]

Might have been Bill or Ric....or Outpost75.

 

[fiver]

outpost sounds about right.
I seem to recall seeing some wst loads from him.

 

[Rally]

Except no Bullesye

Isn't there a law against that ….. at least a felony...…..meal card stamped NO DESSERT......man card taken away!!!

 

[fiver]

I went a long time without bulls-eye.
I didn't start using it until I remembered that using it could lower your blood pressure.

A reloader/handloader could do far worse than to settle on Bullseye for a primary handgun powder. It's right up there with Unique for uh, uniqueness , especially for low to medium velocity "working" loads.

 

[Brad]

Bob, I rarely use Unique. Or bullseye.

I am living in the current century powder wise. Well, other than 2400. That one is non negotiable to me.

 

[Hawk]

I'm that way with Unique.
I do have a large stash of Universal that I need to start playing with.
The lock down has me, well, locked down.
Local range is open, but I can't afford to have the wife exposed to the bug!
No other place to shoot that is not 3 hours away.

I have heard old timers talk about loading 38 wadcutters using a 22lr case full of bullseye . I did weigh it out and to my surprise it was about 3 grains. Always love to listen to the old timers. As Richard Pryor said you don't get old by being a fool!

We haven't given up on you. Yet.

WAITAMINNITT!!!!! This from the guy who's addicted to Red Dot? That's from 1932, just like 2400!

 

[Brad]

Not addicted to it, just happen to have it. Got 8 pounds during “the scare”. The 8 pounder of Promo is from before the scare, it was purchased for 98 bucks or so. Too good a deal to pass up.

 

[Brad]

I will admit to having a general affinity for Alliant powders. Well, some Hercules too.
The Reloder series are a favorite. Hodgdon is second. Never used many IMR or DuPont powders.

 

[Walks]

I buy a pound of just about every new handgun powder that comes out. Try them in all the suitable cartridges that I load for.
Still go back to Bullseye, Unique & 2400. I do have/use more Modern powders.
W296 & W231, Titegroup & Clays, Trailboss.
I did drop Red Dot, Herco & 700X. And lots of discontinued powders.

But no BULLSEYE, how do you load .38Spl W/O Bullseye. Isn't that almost Sacrilegious ?

 

[Brad]

I have never loaded any 3031 either.
I don’t use Bullseye with the wadcutters I don’t shoot.

 

[fiver]

3031 took me a while to come around to also.
I had burned 20sum pounds of AA-2230 before I got around to trying both 4064 and 3031.
I always avoided the IMR powders because of some of the older data, once I started using it I found I really like how predictable it is.
I mostly avoid hodgdon powders anymore.

 

[waco]

IMR3031 is my GO TO 45-70 powder. Ragged holes at 50 yards.

 

[Brad]

Some it for me is that I generally lack any sense of nostalgia.

 

[waco]

When I bought all of my Uncles reloading/casting stuff in 1999 after he died I used the powders he had on hand. Redot, Unique, 2400, 4350, 3031, 4895. It worked and I never really played around with too many other powders. Some. But not a lot.
