    Im assuming its an 45ACP and not a crazy conversion. 5.6gr Unique, Horn 230gr XTP, Rem Caes, Federal primer. Shoots good for me. For more 45 loads I think you can go wrong with Unique, Bullseye, W231

    I have been shooting 4.7 Gr. of PB powder, Winchester primers and 230 gr. cast bullets for several years in my Kimber. I like PB because of its versatility and consistant metering.

    Six grains of Unique pushing a 230 Cast bullet, any flavor primer is fine.

    I shoot 4.7gr.PB-200gr.SWC. Very accurate in any of my 1911's.

    My Taurus shoots about anything I put in it. I have found that the barrel leads a little with cast bullets. I shoot 200gr swc with 5.8Gr of 231 and 230 fmj with 5.3gr of 231.

    200grOre Trail RNFP bullet and 5gr Bullseye is my standard shooting load, works in every 1911 I've found, I load JHP or XTP carry loads a little hotter.
    For what it's worth.
