Having trouble finding Bullseye powder. Anyone used Vectan powder for .45 cap? I have seen some Ba10 available. Thanks for any info.

  I've been having the same problem, for the last year or so. Although my favorite go to powder, is Accurate Arms #2.
  
  Started using powders, made for shotguns. Which have the same fast burning characteristics, as handgun powders. Found a store that had a bunch of Winchester A A Super Handicap for sale. Works OK, although it's a flake powder. It's a half grain slower, than A A #2.
  
  
  
  
  EDIT #1,
  
  Found a burning rate chart that shows "Ba10" is the fastest of the Nobel powders. Burning rate is the same as A A 2 and Bullseye.
  
  I would buy a single can and compare it with your bullseye loads. Charts aren't always correct.

  Maybe they are the same people that made Super M Balistite, one of my favorite powders as kid for pass shooting dove loads.
  
  These days you likely need to take any shotgun or pistol powder you can find.
  
  I wonder if its commercial powder? http://www.nobelsport.it/public/pages/ENG/p_polveri.asp?RISUL_New=y&Ramo=0&Cat1ID=364

  Some NS powders have a pretty narrow use window. Make sure you have data before buying the powder.
