set up the press and loaded some 45 test rounds last night. went to the range for a quick test the pic is 7 rounds 45 cap 5.5grain 231, with 230g round nose CMJ Shooting from a PARA 1911 @ 7yards

Is 5.5 gr of W231 below max for a jacketed 230 gr bullet? I don't have my load manuals with me, but the Hodgdon site lists 5.3 gr as a max.
If this is a load that you've made before and are familiar with, then forgive me. It just seems a bit stout for the first test rounds from a new press.
