Titegroup or Bullseye for .45 bullseye load?

[Jim Watson]

I am not a bullseye shooter but I am a Bullseye loader.

Looking for powderpuff loads for IDPA ESP with a .45, I found that, in general, flake powders were more consistent in velocity and accuracy than light loads of any Ball powder and that Bullseye metered better than large flakes like Solo 1000, Clays, or 700X.

From what I have read, the reason Dennis9 gets good results with Titegroup is that he is loading jacketed bullets. I have seldom seen or read anything favorable about Titegroup with lead bullets. I know I was glad to see the bottom of the only can I tried.
