I have no lead 230 gr bullets, only Berry plated 230s, will load them for data. I got out my old 45 acp all in one load booklet, Speer shows 6.2 grs as max with a 230 TMJ while all the other show a range of 5.7 to 5.8 grs as max with a lead or jacketed bullet, color me surprised!

So your load is not as hot as I was thinking, my normal load for a lead or jacketed 230 gr is 4.8 grs of 231. Old data from 1998 shows 4.8gr 231 with a 230 gr LFP averaging 769 fps. SO now I am really interested in the load data now, this weekend weather looks good, I will get some loaded and tested.
