I'm getting very frustrated trying to figure the right load for a .45 ACP (in a Government model 1911) using 200gr. LSWC and Universal Clays.

Hodgdon says 6-6.7 gr.; another loader says 5.4gr., etc. My questions are (in the real world):

1. What is the correct middle range for 200gr. LSWC and Universal Clays?

2. What is the lightest load you have shot with this configuration?
