230g Berrys using Bullseye

buffalo · September 7, 2009, 02:05 PM

Besides the 200g lswc i'm loading i also am doing a bunch of 230g plated berrys bullets. I was thinking of starting at 4.4 of bullseye from the data that i have read concerning lead bullets. Does anyone think that wouldn't be a good starting point?.

I believe bullseye was invented for the .45 and you can use jacketed data for either lead or plated bullets. Max on jacketed is ok for either of the other two which are softer. Just stay under max for 230grain FMJ ball and you should be fine.

4.6 grs of B/E under a 230 gr. LRN is an old B/eye load. Berry's would fall into the load as lead.
