I've used the 'old' Bullseye in my 45ACP and found it very accurate, but verrry dirty.

The new stuff is supposed to be clean burning, but I haven't tried it yet.

Is it actually CLEAN? Or is it just a little CLEANER.

I found that by using max loads, the original cleaned up quite a bit. Beyond max even better, but you better know your gun!
No experience with the "new" version.

Newbie warning!
Bullseye is very fast, and occupies little case room small changes in powder make big changes in pressure. The chance of a double charge is great indeed!

I have found that the highest risk powder is AA#5.
The key in not just the speed of the powder, but the speed- density product. Bullseye is faster than AA#5, but one cannot get enough Bullseye in the case to make pressure trouble with 9mm 115 gr, but one can easily get into trouble with AA#5.

Likewist, HS-6 and 3N37 are also higher risk than Bullseye for the same reason.

I agree, with the 9mm, but the Bullseye warning is very true for some other larger capacity handgun cartridges, (44 mag for example) and particularly if it is used for reduced loads in rifle cases.
