Bullseye is one of the oldest smokeless propellants on the market, and still one of the most useful. Name just about any handgun caliber and there is probably a decent loading for Bullseye. Right off the top of my head I remember using Bullseye in .38 Special, 9X19, .45ACP, and a few others. IIRC, Bullseye was the standard powder for military .45ACP for many years.

It is also quite economical for practice ammo. With cast bullets and charge weights of ~3 grains (.38 Spl), ~3.5 grains (9X19), ~4.5 grains (.45ACP) we are talking about 2000-plus rounds per pound of powder. So even at $30 per pound we are still talking less than 2 cents per round, under a buck per box of ammo.

Primer prices are still tough to swallow, and I'm starting to feel the pinch because I'm down to my last few thousand from my pre-panic supplies.

I got spoiled years ago when GI surplus powder and primers were just about everywhere. I knew one dealer who bought surplus powders by the barrel, sold it by the pound for about $2, and I carried it home in a paper bag then transferred it to screw-top cans for storage. NRA magazines and Gun List always had pages of ads offering military surplus powders, primers, bullets, brass, everything at chump change prices.
