Your load of 5 gr. Bullseye and a 200 gr. SWC sounds about right to me. I have chronographed this load at an average of 850 fps from a 5 in. Government Model. This would be a 170 PF and you need a minimum 165 PF in Custom Defensive Pistol division. 4.5 gr of Bullseye should be about right for a 230 gr. bullet. Of course my gun could just be a little slow.

YMMV
