In the last 2 days I loaded up 200 45 ACP with Zero 230 grain FMJ and 7.0 grains of Shooter's World Ultimate Pistol and 200 rounds with the same bullet and 5.0 grains of Shooter's World Clean Shot. I had bought these Shooter's World powder when Midsouth had free hazmat when ordering SW powders and so far I really like them.

I went to the range last Friday and shot 100 rounds loaded with 6.8 grains of the Ultimate Pistol and they chonoed right at 900 ft/sec, which is right where I figured they would fall at according to their load data, so I decided to try it at 7.0 grains which is still under their max load for a 230 grain FMJ bullet with that powder and see how they perform. With 4.6 grains of Clean Shot they averaged 777 ft/sec, which is also right about where they would clock at when comparing against their data. I went up to 5.0 grains to see if I could get them averaging closer to 800-830 ft/sec. That load is also lower than their max load data for that style bullet.
