Mine favorite 45ACP load is as follows:
200gr Cast SWC (H&G 68 style)
5.6gr Winchester 231
Winchester LP primer
Federal once shot brass
OAL of 1.250 ~ 1.252
From full size (5") 1911 it will run about 925-950fps depending on the particular pistol. From compact size (3.25-3.5") 1911 it will run about 800-850fps.
I use this load for IPSC, IDPA, Pins, Bullseye (I'm not that good), hunted (only twice) and plink with this load. It is very reliable and accurate in my 45 pistols.
