45acp load data for 185gr Gold Dots w/Bullseye

I have several loading manuals that have a large swing between minimum and maximum load data for the 45acp 185gr Gold Dots using Bullseye. What are the loads you guys are using. Im thinking somewhere around 5.5 to 6.0grs. My officer model doesnt like minimum loads much because of the short slide/heavy recoil spring.

Alliant, Speer and CCI are owned by the same company, I believe. If anything they should know their bullets and powder best.

Max charge is posted at 6.4 grains. As always start 10% low. Here's a link to the load data.
