FYI...Look at the burn rate for Bullseye. It's an extremely fast burning powder. 9mm has very little room in the case between powder and bullet. This means pressure increases quickly if your round is short, or it sets back during feeding.
Setback is going to be a problem with any powder. Slow powders don't like it either.
With light bullets, Bullseye has a broad enough operating range. Most of the Bullseye loads posted are fairly mild, which is also one of it's pluses, it burns pretty well and doesn't get weird at lower operating pressures.
Bullseye is not a good choice for higher power loading or for heavier bullet (IMHO) because the operating range gets small fast and you reach the point of diminishing returns quite quickly.
Within it's limits, it's a very good powder. FWIW, with 147 gr or full steam 115 gr, I use Unique or HS-6.
