Re: How much bullseye powder?

If you go to Alliant Powder's home page, you can get load data - per Berry's FAQ, do not exceed 1200 fps; they recommend using the beginning jacketed load data and working up slowly from there

Re: Shotgun pointing

Keep your head on the stock and your eye on the rock...NOT the bead. Use the beads to practice your gun mount, but when shooting a moving clay you need your eyes watching the bird

Re: most accurate auto-loading caliber

IIRC, free target pistols use a 32 caliber

Some of the .22 are more accurate as well
