Loads for 225 grain TCFP

[Old Man Graybeard]

What is everyone using for a 225 grain coated truncated flat point using WW 231 ...WST...and Unique. I want to be at about 160 power factor. Thanks

(I certainly am not everybody), but I load 4.2 grains of WST behind any lead slug in the 225 to 230 grain range, to usually make about 160-165 Power Factor.  Each 1911 I have loaded for shoots slightly different velocities for the same loading, though, so you need to check the load in your gun.  good luck, GJ
