My "do-it-all" 45ACP load is 200 CSWC (H&G68 style), Winchester WLP primer and 5.6gr of Winchester 231. This load gives me 900 fps from my 5" 1911 pistols and 870 fps from my Sig220.

For accuracy, I go down to 5.1 gr of 231 for about 800 fps from 5" 1911 and 760 fps from Sig 220.

I been using Winchester 231 for about 15 years now and I still think it is one of the best powder for 45ACP and 38 Special.
