I was shooting a new to me m1911a 80 series .45 today, and all seemed ok except my grip with two hands shooting off a pad was giving me different impacts or so it seems............ I was using winchester 230 grain red lettering on white box ammo. groups were about 4 1/2 inches at 25 yards and it seems it would shoot better if i got a better grip with it.. What is a good standard reload for these guns with good defence power that shoots well?. ... I would like to use non holow point bullets or simular to ball ammo.. It had no malfunctions so im good there.. Im used to .45 long colt and they dont give me this much accuracy problems.,, and seem to shoot better than this .45 auto..but i know how to hold them... ... thanks dave..
