After test firing 5 rounds for function and checking for pressure signs, I loaded up 100 rounds with 4.1 grains of Bulleseye. After firing all 100 rounds I was consistently shooting 6 inches low at 15 yards. Seems like the load is just to light, although it does cycle my PT1911 fine. Any one else using bullseye and have a load they like? I have seen load data from 4.0 grains to 5.3 for bullseye. Think I am going to bump it up to 4.5 grains and see if I can bring my POI up some.

With 230 gr. RNL I use 5.1 - 5.2 grs. of Bullseye or AA#2 in my 1911's.

This load gives me POI hits at about 900 FPS from a 5 inch barrel.

5.0 gr. of Bullseye was long considered a military duplication load for the 230 gr. 45 Auto. I have used it with a lot of different 230 gr. bullets over the years and still do for revolver and 1911 guns.

Same here, although I don't know anything about the military duplication. It's a great load! :thumb:

In the back of "Cartridges of the World" 4th edition they listed some load specs for U.S. military cartridges and commercial load data to duplicate the performance level. That's where I got it from; unfortunately, my 4th edition was loaned out and lost it's way back home, a long time ago.
