Not that I am advocating it, but my old Pacific manual lists a max of 5.7 gr Bullseye and 230 fmj. At 5.0 gr it only has a pressure of 16,200 PSI, while +P goes to 22,000 PSI.

Alliant even lists a +P load with 230FMC and Power Pistol.

I have been able to load copper washed, hard cast lead bullets to the velocity of jacketed.

Regards, Shoney
