Bullseye is a better choice, IMO, than WST. Also, for me and my .32 S&W Long guns, this cartridge does not respond to powders the way .38 Spl does. In fact, I have reports of excellent results with 3N37 and Hdy 90gn swaged L-HBWC.
For a 97gn cast DEWC, my best load was 1.3-1.7gn of Unique. Next best powder were Red Dot and TrailBoss.
Of course, best accuracy has been with Federal and Fiocchi factory ammo, and then with L-HBWCs
