What do you gentlemen use to throw 3.5gr of Bullseye into a .45ACP case. T"IA for all responses.

i use my lee perfect powder measure to throw bullseye loads that small into .357 mag cases and .38 spl cases..................

either my rcbs or redding measures - but using the small pistol chamber

i use an ohous du-o-measure that i found on ebay in excellent condition. the cylinder has two chambers of different diameter for pistol and rifle. excellent reproduceability with small charges. the measure was on the market in the 70's.

The smallest amount of Bullseye I have thrown was 4.8 grains for a 9MM Luger load using my RCBS powder measure. It throws this load with hardly any variation whatsoever.

RCBS will send you the pistol die for the Uniflo Powder Charger free of charge. Just ask for it.

Bullseye is the wrong powder for these small volume cases. Much prefer Hodgdon HS-6 or Win. 231. You get enough powder to actually measure.

Or -- you can double check your throw weight on a digital scale, a beam scale would work. But a low volume toss in a powder measure is freighted with all sorts of problems.

The RCBS "Little Dandy" is a perfect powder measure for me & I have parked the Uniflow PM in it's favor. There are individual steel rotors created especially for different powders and powder weights. I find Bullseye is the Perfect powder for the 148 gr. DEWC using Smith M14 with Wichita slab comp. and 2X B&L scope.

I use my progressive Dillon SDB. Over 15 years the powder dispenser has been extremely accurate and consistent. I use 3.7 g's of bullseye for .45. Likewise, I use 2.8 g's in .38.

Over time, I have developed complete trust in the dillon powder dispenser.

Take a peek at these rotors, shaped sort of like a die body.....plenty of powder/weight combinations....r in s.
