That 10 lb spring sounds a little light.
You are closing in on a classic Bullseye load. I use 4.0 grains of Bullseye powder and a 200 grain LSWC. For the Long line, I use a 185 jacketed match SWC and 4.9 grains. The 231 variation of this is very close to what you have and as noted by Kraig.
I run a 14lb spring in my Colt.
