It's funny but after shooting and carrying the Gov't for years the only thing I desire is more of them along with the smaller, lighter models to carry. I want no 1911s in other than original calibers. If I need heavier than 45 ACP I go to 50 AE. The 45 ACP usually does anything I want though. I would like to shoot the 200 gr cast but have a lot of 230 gr TC TL cast to go through first. Be Well, RZ.

Over 40 years or so of shooting Bullseye competition, I guess I've tried them all but I keep coming back to Bullseye powder. Yeah, its a little dirty but who cares. When I get a new pistol, I always Ransom Rest a variety of powder combinations and let the groups tell me what my pistol wants to shoot. 95% of the time, its 3.7-4.2 grs of Bullseye Phil

If I do my job it happens . If I've had too much coffee , not so much .
One ragged hole by sand bag is excellent also .
Plenty of loads won't produce one hole , even sand bagged . I can do that anytime I want. Of course I only fire one shot.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

6.0-7.0g of UNIQUE with a 200g SWC flat base is magic in the acp, pure magic.
I will take AA#5 over bullseye any day.....clean....accurate and AA#5 loves federal 150's!

The data I've seen has 5.4gr of Unique as the max load for a 200gr lead bullet in 45 ACP....
Is there other data out there that I've missed?

Is there other data out there that I've missed? Nope, that’s about right. Lately I just use Unique as a 3rd choice. Powder of choice is Accurate #5 burns clean, great velocity, meters like water. 2nd would be Red Dot.

Years ago I bought a second hand Lee Pro 1000 that was already set up for 4.7 grains of Winchester Super Target for a 200 SWC. I've loaded 6 or 7 thousand rounds on it and never had reason to change,

GT bullets is doing one heck of a job on quality and options on dia and hardness. I ordered 2000 of these 45g Hp in the soft alloy and they expanded to 89 caliber with 8.7g of AA#5, VERY, VERY accurate bullet GT's 200g semi wad cutter with 6g of Unique is very accurate also. https://www.gtbullets.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1

4.0 grains Bullseye over a home-cast 200 grain flat-base swc (SAECO 69). Given shot, one-hole group, 50 feet, rested with two-handed hold. Link is from 1911forums I posted years ago ( I go by "catboat" over there) with picture of my totally stock Springfield 1911 MILSPEC 45 ago, and the range report with picture of the target (with load info). https://www.1911forum.com/threads/range-report-1911a1-sa-milspec.356188/
