.45acp, 200gr cast bullet, 231 Powder How low Can You Go?

My accuracy load with a 200 gr Cast SWC is 4.3 gr 231. I tested many loads with a Ransom Rest at 25 yards and this load came out hands down. I can shoot it all day and not be bothered by recoil.

Ransom Rests are fine. A friend has one and we have used it. We both prefer shooting off hand as it gives us a better feel for what the gun, load and shooter can really do with a specific loading.
I don't love 231 for reduced loads either, but I'd be willing to go down to about 4Grains.
I ran an awful lot of 205s pushed by 5grains of red dot, because I had a lot of both.
Lately I've been running 4.6of WST behind a 205 with better accuracy results and haven't had any function issues with factory springs.

I've been using 4.4 WST behind a 200 grain SAECO #68 copy. Very good accuracy at about 800 fps MV. I don't change out springs. Standard ones are fine.

It's gunpowder; they're all dirty. Cast bullets add to the "dirtyness" but as long as accuracy is good a little bit of dirt is easy to live with.
Regardless of the degree of dirt, the effort required for cleaning remains the same.
Don't think so: If I take my jeep down a muddy road vs a dusty one, effort for cleaning is certainly not the same

Pardon me, I though the subject was guns, not Jeeps.
Jeeps, guns all relative to the conversation.
