Alliant BULLSEYE

Handgun

Burn Rate: 9.2 (Fast)

Description

Bullseye, manufactured by Alliant Powder, is renowned for its fast burn rate with a designation of 9.1, making it an ideal choice for handgun and pistol loads. Known for its consistent ignition and clean-burning properties, Bullseye is highly reliable for applications requiring rapid pressure build-up, such as target shooting and competitive events where precision is paramount. The powder's flake formulation ensures good density and consistent metering through standard powder dispensers, promoting ease of use in progressive reloading equipment. With excellent temperature stability, Bullseye maintains performance across a broad range of environmental conditions, providing dependable results from winter chills to summer heat. Popular calibers for Bullseye include the 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, and .38 Special, where its quick and stable burn rate maximizes efficiency. During load development, considerations should be given to its relatively fast combustion, which requires careful attention to maximum charge weights. Handloaders appreciate Bullseye for its outstanding reputation in achieving low charge weights with high velocities, a valuable trait for optimizing both performance and cost-effectiveness in ammunition manufacturing.
