I've been reloading for a few years ( by the Books). I just started using a chrony to check my loads. I don't get anywhere near the velocities published in the books with their loads. i.e 5.2gr bullseye with a 230 gr hardball produced 765 ft/sec avg. from a 5" 1911. published results are around 835-845. I'd like to increase powder but am wary of pressure. There is no signs of high presure on the 5.2 load. Should I keep increasing load until I get the desired velocity?
