I have been working up some 45 ACP loads in Winchester 231 using Winchester 230grain full metal jacket bullets. I am not getting the kind of velocity I want (I would be happy with 800-825 fps), even when I am at or near the maximum range of W231.
I have loaded some with W231 5.2g with 230g FMJs, and am ony getting around 700 fps. Some of the books list that as a max load, but some go up to 5.6g.
What kind of velocities do you get with 231, and are there better choices if I want to end up at about 800 fps?
