I reloaded 45 acp with 230 grn xtreme over 4.8 grns of titegroup, 1.250 oal . According to my lee manual and hodgdon 4.8 max 1.200 oal on lead and fmj.I worked up from 4.4 and found 4.8 had the best accuracy out of my ruger p90.Does anyone use a similar combo is 4.8 ok concerned about being at max.

My go to load with TiteGroup and 230gr Xtreme RN Plates is 4.7gr at 1.245 oal. Shoots around 810fps out of my 5 inch Dan Wesson Valor.

Loaded over 6000 rounds with this recipe. Not a single problem. I dont like bunny fart loads.

I just scored bunch of Win 231 from Powder Valley and now working on new load. Looks like many modern books are waaaaay concervative with their numbers for Win 231.

I am at 5.7gr now and it feels and flys just about right. Very clean burn and closer to factory loads. (lyman lists 5.2 start and 5.8 max for WIN231)
