I have found Blazer to be just fine for 50ft GAllary Bullseye shooting. It groups as well as the standard velocity in both of my pistols . I have not tryed it at 50yds but for Gallery and short course it will hold the X-ring in my guns....

Trooper, I thought about those....I tryed some Penn 180's at 4.0BE....But for some reason my gun just seems to function better with 200's when I use Bullseye powder...I can use lighter bullets with Clays ...I think when I order bullets next time I'll get some qualty cast 200's and see if I can get l...

Nice light load

Being that I shoot mainly indoors and at 25yds , I wanted to have something load wise that fit that purpose...My gun likes 200gr bullets better than 180/185's so naturally I stuck with them...I found 2 loads that fit this purpose...3.5 BE and 3.6 Clays both with the 200gr Lswc's ,1.245 COL, and .470...

So I separate those , Winchester and R-P each also has there own box ...everthing else gets used up at IDPA and Bowling pin shoots....But I plan on a Starline Purchase here in...

In order to work a compensator needs loads that are a lot more powerful than are normally used in Bullseye. +1 on the above...This next statement is just my opion only ....I dont think comps do all that much in .45 acp ...higher pressure guns yes .357 mag / .40 and even sometimes in a 9mm ...but mo...

rdl2001, I got a clark slide mount for my RO ....I had a gunsmith drill and tap the slide for me.....I also cut the slide mount down so it fit between the open sights....Once you mount the red dot....you will most likely need to change your recoil spring .....3.8 clays with a 185 or a 200 you will n...

What the hell do we know? Do some tests. You have two good powders; try a series of different charges and see which is most accurate and if it functions the gun well. I'd start with 3.5 grains and go up. There is no other way. I understand I must test....But what harm did it do to ask ?? someone ma...

Ive got one, I think its a very good gun as far as a production gun goes. Mine will shoot right at a inch @ 25yds . I did that with the open sights over a rolled up jacket. Ive since put a dot on it , hand fitted a tighter fitting barrel bushing and changed the slide stop pin to a .200 pin . the gun...

I might be missing something but if your present gun and ammo combination is shooting one inch groups, shouldnt you be leaving well enough alone and telling us about YOUR load? The load my gun has shot the best with was 3.9 grs clays / 200gr Penn Lswc/ 1.245 COL/ .469 crimp/ Federal primer. I was j...
