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.
ArchAngelCD is right here, IMO. Using Bullseye for faster/heavier loads is not wise...a slower powder makes more sense, even if you can get by with it.

I've tried lots of powders over lots of years in a number of good revolvers, mostly Model 27s, and keep coming back to 2400. I load 15 grains w/ hard cast 158 SWCs and find it both powerful and accurate.
