Bullseye has been around since 1913  Alliant's Quote;

Billions of rounds have been loaded with Bullseye since it was introduced in 1913.

Hercules Bullseye


Alliant Bullseye


Derivatives of Bullseye powder are US 9mm NATO powder also called Bullseye 84, better known as Power Pistol today.
Designed for high performance in semi-automatic pistols and is the powder of choice for 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG.
Fast burning and consistent
Economical and accurate



Now this brings us to the newer Alliant product BE-86 also a derivative of Bullseye which has a modified burn rate and flash suppressed property.

The special extruded flake formulation results in excellent ballistics in a wide array of centerfire pistol loads, with high energy, an ideal burn speed and less flash. It meters well and is available in 1- and 8-pound canisters. Like all Alliant Powder offerings, BE-86 provides superior lot-to-lot consistency.
Improved flow
Contains flash suppressant
High energy
Lot-to-lot consistency

Shadow, thanks for the post. I have learned a lot from your postings.

Some one posted on " Big Blue " that BE was Power Pistol with a flash suppressant and another posted on Carolina Shooters Club that it was Bulls Eye. Guess they were both partially right.

What is the "Big Blue"?  I don't think I've seen it...is it the Dillon Forum?
