The Speer #14 has 5.6g the max for 231. It's a bit of a fast powder for a 230g bullet, but it definitely works.

If referring to .45 ACP, 230 g; HP38/W231 wouldn't seem so fast compared to the nominal Bullseye, would it? I do feel that Bullseye is rather fast for 230 FMJ, at least intuitively, but W231 might make a good fall back rather than a peer in burn rate. I bring back the Bullseye for lead bullets, for which the faster powder seems to work really well without being run hot.
p.s. my assumption is that the Speer bullets in question are not lead, but Gold Dots or some such jacketed/plated.
