I have been loading Win 231 for my 45acp almost exclusively. I second the 5.3 for a load pretty much comparable to factory. The chrono showed around 780 with my Rainier plated 230 FMJ bullet and range brass. The other load I use is just a little ligher at 5.0 grain. I use this for my wife and for steel match shooting. Never had a chance to chrono but feels a little lighter with just enough reduction in recoil so that the gun will stay on target better. Works for me!
