Default Nice load for the .45 ACP
I found that my 1911 likes a 230 gr RN stoked by 5.4 gr of AA#2 powder. Very accurate.
What loads do you guys use?

I have been using 230gr. Hornady XTP JHP's in my 1911's with 6grs. Unique powder, it shoots extremely well in both my Smith & Wesson 1911 Tactical Rail and in my Safari Arms Enforcer sub compact 1911.

In all of my 45's they seem to really like 4.5grns of Bullseye with 200grn LSWC. I don't shoot jacketed much. When I do, its 200 JSWC with AA#2 or AA#5.

I shoot 3.6 Clays with 200 Gr.SWC out of my 1911 SA
I can shoot out to 50 yards two hand hold unsuppported and keep all shots in a pie plate
