Thanks for the reply Jester. The only reason for inquiring about Bullseye is I use it for all handgun reloading, 9, 38 Special and 45, it would be easier to use it for the 40 also.
Here is some data from Alliant's website just scroll down to 40 S&W auto and pick what weight of bullet you would like. start 10% down from these numbers.
Their online data is why I started using alliant years ago. Have not used Bullseye for 40 but looking at the data it looks like it would work with any bullet you wanted to use.
Everything I have ever read is that lead will make higher pressures, and start even lower with them on workup. I have shot 150gr swc out of my xd, and I was shooting .5 gr less of powder to get the same vel out of them as my plated.
I load bullseye behind both FMJ, and lead TC bullets. I loaded with tightgroup for the first time last week. I could be insane here, but I had substantially less smoke with the tightgroup and lead load, than the bullseye and lead load. It may have been conditions at the time of shooting, but it is something that I will surely monitor as time goes on.
hunh, titegroup is fast burning, so it produces less flash/smoke from the powder, on the other hand it is a fast powder, and a double base (IIRC) that burns very hot. This usually means more leading and more smoke form lead bullets.
