I've never use W-231 in .45 ACP. Check out what the manufacturer recommends on their website. Basic Manual Download

My accuracy load from a 5" 1911 is 4.3 gr 231 behind a 200 gr cast lead SWC. (H&G68 mold). It's a mid range and will punch paper and take falling plates, but will not make major for ISC.
