Respectfully, my standard target load for a 230 grain lead bullet is 3.8 grains of Bullseye. I've been using that load for a while and it was recommended to me by some very knowledgeable shooters. On the other hand, my standard jacketed load for the 230 grain bullet is 4.5 grains of Bullseye. I also use that 4.5 grain load as a mid-range cast bullet load. They both work great in my pistols.

However, the OP's problem is interesting. I'd be intriqued to find the answer. I've never had that particular malfunction in either of my 1911's, but I'd bet that it traces back to the magazine.
