I'm new at shooting and reloading. I am range shooting a Ruger NV 45 Colt using a Keith 255g LSWC. I have tried moderate loads with IMR 4227 and HS-6. I'm not really happy with the HS-6 as a moderate load, due to the amount of greasy residue after 100 rounds. The IMR 4227 was less greasy, but left a lot of powder and dust everywhere. I'm considering the W-231 as the next one to try in a mild to moderate load.
The local Cabelas has a fairly limited powder selection, so, I have been slowly working through the few that I have load data for. Any advice on the 231 would be appreciated. I plan on starting with a load close to the min (just a little higher than minimum) as suggested in several guides I have.
