Start at 8.0 Grs HS-6 with the Ranier 200 Gr plated bullet. It should give you somewhere in the area of 750ish FPS +/-. What was the data you found on THR?
I would recommend W-231 over HS-6 with plated bullets in .45.
Got loadbooks?
Plated bullets don't act like lead nor jacketed. You don't have to limit yourself to lead data, but can't blindly use jacketed data either.
Here is a link to some plated data. Hope it helps. Here is another link to the old Midway plated data from the Ranier site. It shows HS-6 data with Ranier bullets, including that 200 Gr FP you have. (TrFP)
