A while back, in the late 70s the American Rifleman had an article about this.

They came up with a rather light round for Bullseye, (50 & 25 yards) of 3.8 gr of bullseye and a cast 230 gr lead bullet. Saying its accurate and works even at 50 yards.

I tried this load and it worked great in my Bullseye shooting. I still use it today. Not much bullseye shooting around here, but I use it for everything else.

I haven't hit any steel with it that didn't fall. Its easy on the shooter and gun.

I have found no functioning problems with it either. Works in my stock USGI 1911a1 and my Series 70 Gold Cup that I set up for hardball when I was shooting for the Guard.

I don't remember the velocity, but it wasn't what we call a hot round. But it works.
