I like either the cast Lyman wadcutter or the Speer HBWC over either 2.5 or 2.7 grains of Bullseye. I use the 2.5 grains in my revolvers and the 2.7 grain load in my S&W 52. The reason that I use the extra 2/10 grain in the Model 52 is to assure reliable functioning of the auto pistol. If I find a good deal on the Speer wadcutters I buy them, and if no good deal is to be had, I just cast, size, and lube my own.
