Barry's plated bullet load data?

Very true!
MY 45 load with the 200 grain by the book/ math should be at about 930-940 FPS out of a 5 inch barreled weapon.
The 38 Super is stepeping out pretty good though at Raniers 115 grain R/N or H/P with Acc #5 @7.9 grains, believe thats around 1200 FPS.
I don't load just for speed , but for function and accuracy (the psitols not mine!-LOL) but honestly If I wanted to take a 45 acp to the range and feel like i was shooting a 22 then i would simply take a 22 and save all the reloading work, but hey thats just me.
I don't take 2-3 spark plug wires off my V-8 engine when i drive either.

If you have not ordered the bullets yet I would consider trying out the Berry's 185 gr HBRN bullet. They have the same profile as the 230 gr bullet so they will feed well in your 1911. I load them under 5.4 gr of HP-38 with an OAL of 1.260 and crimp of 0.470. The accuracy out of my 5" RIA with these rounds is the best I have found- a ragged hole for eight rounds at ten yards-which is pretty good for me shooting off-hand. The recoil is comparable to a 9mm. If you are going to use a lighter bullet with a light load I would also recommend dropping down to a 13# recoil spring.

well don't know if this will help ya or not?
raniers/ berry .355 --115 grain R/N -4.9 grain Unique @ 1.125
raniers/berry .451 --200 grain R/N- 9.0 grains ACC #5 -1.225
works fine in all my 9MM and my 45's.
not exactly light plinking loads but not barn burners either.

Thank you very much sir! This gives me a starting point.

Thank you very much sir! This gives me a starting point.

Glad to help!
its always great idea to reduce loads by at least 10% and work up for your particular weapons.
these show No signs of pressure in my weapons but better to be safe than sorry.
I use standard CCI primers in all my loads.
