Anyone have some load data for ball FMJ 115-130gr bullets on top of Winchester AutoComp? I'm having trouble developing enough pressure to get proper ejection in my 1911 with a Remington 115gr bullet and this powder. I'm already at the maximum charge I can find published for this bullet weight (6.2gr) but that's for a JHP (I assume they would sit deeper in the case for the same weight, giving less volume). I see no pressure signs and the action is mangling some brass from short-cycling. Winchester White Box 130gr factory loads have some case bulge (this is not a ramped barrel) in this gun so I know I'm nowhere near the pressure limit, but I don't want to go overboard.
I'm thinking of going up to 147gr JHPs as they are only about 4 cents more per bullet, but it's the wife's gun and I want to keep the loads light if possible.
Thanks in advance!
