I want to load 45 acp 230gr fmj. I have CCI brass and federal primers. I want to use either titegroup or unique. I also would like to keep them around what a standard military round. I think that is about 900fps but I might be wrong. If anyone has any information on this it would be great

    Hello Match grade 230 Grain HARD BALL was last made with SPEC calling for 830 FPS and 230 grain bullet Be sure you Taper crimp for .001-.002 smaller then the area 1/4 inch down from case mouth This will vary as the different brand cases have differen wall thichness TZZ and remington UMC is some of the thinest federal used to be good brass but in the early 2000's it had poor quality control some had split mouth BEFORE firing. I like WCC MATCH and second choice is W.W.

    I would load it to about 850fps. That is what most stock recoil springs are for.
