Serious target shooters have shot a lot of 185, 190, and 200 grain cast semiwadcutters over the years. The original Crawford design was meant to keep the same length of bearing surface as the 230 hardball bullet but with the nose cut down to the least that would feed. There are 200 grain roundnose if your gun is not throated for semiwadcutters.
I have shot some cast 230s but tend back to the 200s because of their long history, lots of data, and a sentimental recollection that a 200 grain (jacketed) bullet was good enough for Mr Browning and Colt's in 1905.
