I tried Bullseye for about 50 rounds about 45 years ago. After cleaning the soot off my gun and cases I switched to HP38. I have used HP38 in 45ACP, 45 Colt, 9mm, and 38 Special. It works well and burns cleaner than Bullseye. Since I have started using TiteGroup My HP38 is no longer needed. I get better accuracy and consistency with TiteGroup than I did with HP38 and it burns cleaner. I no longer have a 45ACP but I still shoot the other three and all of them show more accuracy with TiteGroup than I was getting with HP38. I also end up using slightly less powder for the same velocity at lower pressures.

For my 357 I use only H110. After 45 years I have one load for everything I do with the 357. I use the Sierra 140 JHP, a CCI 550 primer and 19.1 grains of H110. This load is over the current SAMMI standard pressure and should only be used in Ruger or Contender firearms.
