On another note I was just rereading my old DGJs, and in one, Sherman Bells I believe #12, about " Finding Out For Myself, where he tested Green Dot and BP. He did it so both loads had the same velocity, around 1225fps. They both had almost the same pressure - with in a 100 psi. He tested 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12"s down the barrel. It was the same at each distance. Here's the cool part. He made a magnum load with the BD, I don't remember exactly, but about a 1 3/8oz at 1400fps, if memory serves me correctly. Anyways, it was 10,000psi 1" out, but it very quickly went down to the light loads . I think at 3" out it was only 4000psi. He said he couldn't explain it, just reporting what he found. So if you're going to load BD at data that gives you 1200fps at a 1 1/8oz or so you'd be perfectly safe. He claimed [ in a different article that used BD for a different experiment ] that it seems like it was designed to replace BP. Just something to think about.
