I've been poking around for a good load for Win 231 for a 230 gr FMJ load. Winchester lists a max charge of 5.3 on their site but in searching I see a lot of loads that seem to be way higher than that. Did they change the formulation or something? I'm also guessing it's just winchester being cautious. I'd like to end up with a load that does about 830-850 fps out of a 5" 1911, so I can use it for pins. The CCI Blazer brass load I typically use clocks in around ~850 or so.
I've been loading up .45 ACP with Unique for awhile, but I got a can of 231... I think it meters a bit
better. Unique is kinda fun though, watching the numbers bounce all over the place on the chrono, and getting your
arms covered with unburned powder flakes.
