The Alliant site and the Speer load manual are identical. Both assume a Speer LSWC (158gr). These manuals show Bullseye at 3.5grs (max) to have 814fps.
Looking in the Layman manual, 158gr Linotype show 3.4grs (max) to have 855fps.
I'm using the extreme 158gr LSWC, says 18 on the Brinell scale.
I don't know the Brinell scale for the Speer LSWCHP, they don't say on their site. I believe Linotype is around 22 Hardness.
Is the fact that Linotype is 22, while the others are around 18 the reason the pressure differences are so big?
I'm probably going 3.4gr with the Bullseye, though I see a lot of folks with a pet load of 3.5gr.
