Hopefully someone will chime in if I'm wrong, but I think that if you have two identical bullets that leave the muzzle of the same gun at identical speeds, their external ballistics should be the same.
Not so sure about that, at least not with respect to point of impact. Muzzle flip is probably more a matter or INTERNAL ballistics, but it still affects POI.

So, if a fast powder and a slow powder produce the same muzzle velocity but a different acceleration curve, it MAY affect how the muzzle flips and returns to the sight line in the shooter's grip as he shoots a "double tap."

Others with more experience in shooting double-taps may be able to verify or discredit that line of thinking.
