33,900 psi in their test barrel. This compares favorably with
every other powder they list for this bullet. A few days ago I
tried a load of; RP 357 mag. brass, Fed 200 primer, 5.7 grs
of Bullseye and TV 158 gr SWC. Velocity at about 12 ft from
the muzzle was 1022 in my 3 1/2" 27-2 and 1066 in my 4"
27-2. Thats the velocity range I'm looking for in clean burning mid range loads. Bullseye has more flexibility than you
might think.
No reason to get your panties all in a bunch. BTW, I just looked on the Alliant Load Data site and with a 158gr LSWC bullet they report only 939 fps with Bullseye and 1034 fps with unique.

It's not my opinion fast powder will reach their max velocity before a slower powder and with more pressure, it's a fact. No reason to shoot the messenger.
