I'm reloading 9mm 147 grain Jacketed Hollow Point using original BullsEye and CCI 500 primers. But, I can't find the suggested load data for that powder, only the new BE-86. And it appears there is a wide difference in the two powders.
Comparing the data for 124 grain jacketed hollow points Alliant shows 4.4 grains charge for BullsEye but a whopping 5.9 grains for BE-86. Plus a change to Federal 100 primers. Anybody got the recipe for 147 gr JHP's using the old BullsEye? I'm not interested in blowing up my Glock 26 (and my hand with it).

Do you have another powder to use? I try to use as few powders as possible, but I think BE is too fast. I tried several manuals with no results.
My personal loading would be 3.2 of Red Dot.
The Hornady manual lists BE for 124gr but not 147gr, which tells me it may not be suitable.

The recipe you are looking for is in the Alliant Powder Reloaders' Guide dated 1996:

Lyman has data for 147gr FMJ, Bullseye, CCI primers. No data on JHP. COL may be quite different.

This is for reference to all of the comments above.
Web
www.stevespages has lots of data. Steve is dead but one of his follower is keeping the board alive.
If I have misspelled his call google it.


Another is pic's or some thing like that has copies of old loading manuels. I will check it out and update if my spelling is wrong.
I asked one of the managers at Lyman if they could put all of there old books on a cd to sell and as a ref. She said they could not do that as all of the old books were destored when they moved " Pure bull. "

I has a wealth of info for the reloader Many copies of old reloading manuels from a lot of different co.

worth making a note to ref to later. I use index cards and keep in a box. the price of getting old.

I looked in the Modern Reloading 2ed By Richard Lee
and for 147 gr xtp
3.8 gr to 4.2 Bullseye
Book is from 2002 so I would think this the old version of Bullseye.

I have some old loading manuals from the 70's. They show loading data for bullets up to 124 grain but nothing for the 147. I also have some of that old bullseye that I bought in the late 70s. Will probably use it up loading 45 ACP ammo. If you want data for 115 or 124 grain bullets, reply back and I will send that.
