Hello, I've loaded hundreds of 230 gr XTP for my taurus pt945 and a buddy of mine's XD, I load 4.4 grains of titegroup, with a 1.23" OAL, I've never had so much as a hic-up with this load. It's the starting load with titegroup, it cycles nicely, throws the case about 4 to 5'. Easy on the wrist and the gun. When I shoot Winchester USA 230 gr the case flies about 10 to 12'. minimum case length for the .45 acp is .888". Becareful pushing the bullet in any farther without adjusting the powder, I think that could be dangerous.
