I'm shooting them out of 1911's, but I have always run 230gr FMJ's with 5.3 grains of ww231. I can have FMJ's delivered to my door for $119/1,000, which is within $10-$15 of what I would have to pay for coated lead. I don't mind paying a small premium for FMJ's, not that there is anything wrong with coated, plated, or plain lubrucated lead.
