I like bullseye, it is dirty but I use 5 grains of bullseye for this round. It
is easy on the gun with some power, it won't beat the gun up and it is very
accurate.

5 grains of bullseye is nearly universal for me. 5.5 for the 225 grain hollow
point is chronographing out of my Kimber SM2 at 825FPS. I have tried 6 grains
at 960 but it was a little hard on the gun. So I stick with the fun to shoot
rounds. If you stay with 5 grains of bullseye in your round you should get
reliable action with very good accuracy. Remember to clean you gun after
everyshoot because bullseye is dirty.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [BULLSEYESHOOTERS] Loads for the 1911

I want to handload for my Colt 1911, .45ACP. Someone gave me a large coffee can
full of 220 grain lead semi-wadcutter bullets,(all sized and lubed) and two
unopened pound cans of Bullseye powder. Can anybody suggest a powder charge that
they have had success with, using Bullseye powder and this kind of bullet?

45's forever,

Jim
