My goto .45acp powder is Red Dot.
4.6gr with a 200 gr MBC coated LSWC. Very pleasant to shoot in my DW 1911.
I have loaded RMR 230gr plated RN @5.0gr and lower depending on what I'm shooting. I actually have loaded the RMRs as low as 4.0gr with great results. Sooooo soft shooting and still very accurate in my 625JM.
You will really enjoy loading .45acp. As someone mentioned plain lead will be smoky because of the lube. I like coated the best.
