.45 ACP. My own load has been for target work. It is 4.2 grains of Bullseye and a 185 grain LSWC. This has worked pretty much faultlessly for me for decades.
The “classic” target load is 4.0 grains of Bullseye under a 200 grain LSWC.
Five grains under a 230 grain FMJ is another classic.
The OP does not have Bullseye.....personally, i would go with Titegroup and Hodgdon’s starting load for The 200 grain JHP of 4.7 grains.
