Anypone using Power Pistol for 45 ACP?

[Gowking]

Got some 230 gr FMJ round nose I want to load. I have some Power Pistol sitting on the shelf that I used for 45 Colt and wanted to see if anybody had feedback on using it with 45 ACP?

Alliant's website lists 8.1gr under a Speer 230gr TMJ at 916fps:

Loaded some plated bullets with PP at 6.0gr. accuracy was fine. load felt pretty stout. 8.1 sounds a bit much, but I'm used to shooting mousefart loads(4.0 of red dot).

hornady manual lists 5.6-7.6 of PP with a 230 FMJ

I use Power Pistol to replicate factory Speer 230gr Gold Dot loads.

7.2gr with an OAL of 1.205" gives around 940/950 fps out of my 5" 1911's.
