Ok so I have some of these and I am going to try and figure out a good load tomorrow for them. I am using bullseye and probably starting around 4.6 grains because that is within all books I can find and what I us with 230 grain rn.

But I am really trying to figure out col I have read lots of different things. I am thinking 1.20, but still wanting to find something solid before I reload a batch to go to the range with.

Any help would be great

I will be shooting them out of my 1911 springfield.

Don't load a batch, load a few.
Even a dummy without powder or primer.
Set the OAL to where it will chamber check and see if it will hand cycle from magazine to chamber. If so, load a few for range test.
