    158grn RNFP (GM Hardcast) 5.4 grains of Unique. Shoots well at 25 and 50m.

    IIRC shooting these sorts of loads at 200 yards is either a 13 or 23 inch drop cant remember which..

    14.8gn H110 with 158gn cast SWC HP shoots well out to about three hundred yards. I was just splashing into puddles though and haven't tried paper punching at that distance. It's really only my 100yd tops fox round.

    Is Bullseye not worth using?

    A look through a number of posts in the reloading section makes me think that
    I may have wasted some of my hard-earned on a tub of Bullseye for .38/.357 as very few seem to use it. My first foray into reloading for a 20" Rossi (1:30" twist) gave rather disappointing results from a GM 158gr RNFP over 3.5gr Bullseye in .38 cases.
    I'm quite happy to try a range of powder weights to see whether grouping will improve, but I suppose my question is really whether Bullseye is a useful powder for rifles (rather than pistols) and if not, would VV N110 or 320 be a better bet, also considering the future difficulties of obtaining American powders?
    Constructive thoughts would be welcome!
