Well I think the first try was so successful it will be time to load the next 40 rounds the same way. I am using a Lee Turret press with the factory crimp die in the fourth hole. The recipe is 4.6 grains of Bullseye and standard large pistol Winchester primers. The 240 gr lswc plated bullets are crimped in the most forward crimping groove. This load is cleaner than the factory rounds I shot previously and it also has less recoil. It shot about the same at 4 - 5" low.
I ended up modifying my point of aim to compensate and was rewarded with fairly tight grouping around the bullseye of the target despite the awful sights on this revolver. I last shot anything with Bullseye powder about 20 years ago. It seems the new recipe is indeed much cleaner.
