Hard ball...230 45ACP, use a good lead for most, and shoot several copper full metal jacket cartridges (after the lead) before you quit. You can remove some of lead build-up the fun way. Reload both types and save! I've loaded with 231 more than other powders, lately.

I bracket loads for a gun by loading 5-10 rounds with and add a grain and load 5-10 more starting at at the lowest recommended load in a manual and experimenting to see what seems to be very accurate (for that gun) with a specific combination of components. Stay with the same brand of primer and powder, or start over or check accuracy when you change an element. I'll be doing this soon in a new caliber/handgun. It's not that complicated, just requires marking or bagging your rounds and taking notes for the next reloading session.
