Of the powders you listed I only have experience with Bullseye and AA#2 and neither one was used reach 1,200 fps with 115gr FMJ bullets from 4" barrel (mine is P7M8). I'm sure it could be done and has been done but I did not feel comfortable doing it. I have used Winchester 231 (which is very slightly slower burning than Bullseye and #2) to reach 1,220 fps but only with Remington 115gr JHP which I seat a little further out to increase internal capacity (lowers pressure). This load is safe (no signs of excessive pressure) and VERY accurate in my pistols but does require caution.
