I just bought some AA#2. Hadn't had any in a long time. I used to use it for 9mm but now I want to try to come up with a 45acp load for 200gr LSWC's. I would be using it in my Colt 1911 Government Model. The Accurate website is showing a starting load of 5.1gr and a max of 6.0gr. However, my Colt 1911 has a lighter recoil spring and normally shoots 3.8gr of Bullseye without any FTE issues so I figure I can start lower than 5.1 gr of #2.

Any ideas?
