I am looking for some experience with other powders for 1911 5-inch using 155 LSWC. I am currently using 4.8 grains BE and 4.8 Trail Boss. Have tried lower charges, but 4.8-5.2 gives good accuracy with lowest recoil. Lower charges do not stabilize. Trail Boss and BE seem to be about the same grain-for-grain. I wonder if a slower powder would give me enough velocity with a lower charge. Trail Boss seems a little softer on the recoil with the same good accuracy, maybe because it is slightly slower than BE, and it does not lead as much as BE. Someone told me 4.5 grains Unique works, but that seems awfully light. Any experience with 155 grain LSWC will be of interest. I don't want any info. on any other bullets, just other powders with this bullet.
