I have a few hundred rounds of Sierra 95gr FMJ 355 dia 9mm that i want to load using my Bullseyes powder. I usually load 115gr projectiles and i really can't find any good data on the 95 gr using Bullseye... can anyone help me with this ? Thanks in advance.

According to a website I subscribe to, "LOAD DATA" , for the 95 grain FMJ Sierra Bullet:

Starting Load: 2.5 grains of Bullseye gives a projectile velocity of 893 fps
Maximum Load: 5.0 grains of Bullseye gives a projectile velocity of 1307 fps.

According to Lyman 49th edition: for the 95 gr FMJ:

Starting Load: 3.5 grains of Bullseye gives a projectile velocity of 893 fps
Max Load: 5.0 grains of Bullseye gives a projectile velocity of 1307 fps.

It's my guess the "LOAD DATA" info on starting load is a typo. That is a good demo of why one needs several sources before attempting a reload. (Which, I am sure, you already knew.)

Hope this helps.

THE HODGDON LOADING MANUAL has this exact projectile with loading data from ten different propellents in the 9mm PARABELLUM cartridge. THAT mean their online site does too.

I must confess, I was the one with the typo error. Both sources list the starting load at 3.5 grains Bullseye.
