Reloading 45 ACP

I have a reloading problem concerning 45 ACP. I recently bought a full size Kimber Eclipse Custom II and have shot approximately 100 FMJ commercial ammo without any problem. Since I reload, I worked up some rounds with Hornady 200 gr. lead semi-wadcutter with 5.1 gr. of Unique powder. The result was not totally good. There were some jams from the magazine to the chamber and the point of impact was about 6 inches high at 45 feet. I checked the length of each round and matched them to the commercial ammo. I wonder if I need to increase the amount of powder as the Lee reloading die info calls for 7.1 gr. of powder. Do I merely need to break the pistol in?
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
dchristian
