I have 4 boxes of these Berry's 185 Gr HBRN bullets. I sold my S&W M&P Compact in 45 ACP, and it loved these bullets. I bought a Remington 1911 R1 Carry model, and I tried 3 different loads, it didn't like any of them. I was loading Win 231, the same as for my M&P. Terrible "patterns" not groups. I also have Titegroup, Longshot, IMR Green ( for my 12 gauge reloading), and Trail Boss powder on hand. My 1911 shoots factory and hand loaded 230 Gr. RN very well. The 200 Gr Berry's SWC shoot very well also. But the 185 HBRN is a no go so far. I think I loaded 5.6, 5.8, and 6.0 grains of Win 231 at 1.235 OAL, with Fed LP primers. Has anyone found a good load for these bullets. If it includes a different powder, I will try anything.
