With all the new data and powders available I think it's time for an update, I'm shooting Speer and Hornaday jacketed Hollow points in the 230 gr. variety along with CFE pistol and Accurate #5 powders. I'm curious if anyone wants to share a pet load of the newer powders available.

I've got some Power Pistol but haven't worked up any 45ACP loads with it yet
Good luck, have fun and be safe
 
I've got so much inventory from the last shortage, but I'll share.
Hornady 230gn XTP
Springfield XD45 4" bbl
International Clays 4.6gn
WLP primer
Starline brass
776fps average velocity
SD 12
Quite accurate
 
We were issued XTPs in custom loaded 10mm. Not impressed-other than it's ability to be used as an indirect fire munition if a concrete wall was available to create shrapnel & spall.

I've been much more impressed with the Sierra JHC 230 gr @ 850 f/s.
