So I am wondering what powder people like for 200g LSWC's. Shooting out of a SA 1911. Making rounds for plinking. Searched for an answer but I seem to fail every time I search for stuff.

I use 4.7-5 grains of Bullseye
For me, its a nice plinking load. 5 grains of Bullseye was the standard for military ball ammunition.WTT My BCM Carbine upper for your midlength! Check me out!!

Plinking?
5.0gr to 5.4gr of WW 231 will work great with the stock 16# spring, and will be clean and easy to shoot.
4.5gr of WW WST is also a very clean, easy shooting load.
Another very clean load is 4.5gr of VV N310.
All of these with a 200gr LSWC loaded to 1.250" OAL.sigpic

I use Bullseye for all my .45ACP and it seems I use 4.6gr for all my 230GR and 5.0gr for all my 185 - 200gr.
