My faves
200 gr JHP, CCI large pistol primer, AA#5 9.7 gr, OAL 1.225.
Averages 920 fps from my S&W 1911 Sc, with SD of 17. 376 ft lb, functions fine. That's a max load according to several of my manuals, so work up to it. That's my carry load.
For practice with a load which has similar recoil, AA#5 9.2 gr, Rainier 185 gr plated flat point bullet, same primer. Average velocity 924 fps.
For targets in my Gold Cup with a reduced-power spring, a 200 gr LSWC with 3.7 gr Bullseye, same primer, 1.257 OAL. Very comfy to shoot and accurate.
I have used Unique 7.0 gr with the Rainier bullet as well, OAL same as the other practice load above, same primer, with good results.
Keep in mind that those chrono values are from a Commander-size pistol, so you will get higher velocities from a full-length barrel.
