I have been reloading for my 45 ACP M1911's for twenty years . Last year, I decided that as good as W231 and Unique were, Bullseye is going to be my standard powder. 4.5 grains with a 230 LRN gives me exactly 800 fps, the cases fall near my feet, the load is accurate, and the recoil is a lot less some other powders.
This morning, was reading a book on the Service 45's and find that the original Army load was 5.0 grains Bullseye. 800 fps muzzle velocity.
Well about 96 years later, I am back to the starting point.
