Bullseye is an excellent powder. But I always caution folks to take extra efforts to make sure a case isn't double charged.

Where with some of the bulkier powders, a double charge would overflow the case, a case might hold 3-6 charges of Bullseye before overflowing. Just saying that for comparison, as no one is going to make that large of a mistake.

But a double charge of Bullseye can be hard to spot and can have catastrophic effects.

I would say that this would be more likely to happen when multiple cases are held in a loading block and the reloader is distracted.

Not so much chance of happening with a progressive.
