powder for 45 ACP 230 grain FMJ???

[slamfire1]

I am slowly getting to the point of using Bullseye in the 45ACP, but till then I still have a bunch of W231 to burn. So I don't have any bullseye loads with a 230 FMJ. I do have an excellent load with W231 and a FMJ.

Kimber Custom Classic

230 FMJ (GI) 5.5 grs W231 Mixed Brass WLP OAL 1.265" taper crimp .469"
8-Jan-06 T = 61 °F
Ave Vel = 802.9

Same load in a Colt M1911

I am loading this with VV N320 and also VV N310.
The better one is the N320 , 4.6grs., CCI LP, OAL 1.25".
Doing very well in my Springfield Trophy Match.
