Stay away from Bullseye in Magnum cartridges... Too easy to get a double charge and there is a widely held belief that because so little is in the case one can get flash-over detonation.
As to 900 fps with a 170 Sierra, probably in the 7.5 grain area....maybe a little less. Be careful running jacketed bullets too slow. There are instances where the jacket has stuck in the bore and the core had enough inertia to separate and continue out the bore.... The Sierra was also designed as a high speed hunting bullet...I doubt it will expand at that velocity.
If you are looking for a light recoiling target load, look around for a commercial caster who makes the 195 grain Lee. I have seen them out there for sale...

Thanks, Strider. I have a 4.5" Blackhawk, so that should be light enough.
