I use 230 gr cast bullets at both 25 & 50 yards (Bullseye Matches).

Fact is thats all I shoot out of my semi auto 45s. The only exception is EIC matches which requires 230 FMJ bullets.

I have never seen the need to load hot, mine are quite mild, yet I've never noticed it failing to knock over steel targets.
