Dear 1911 Lovers,
I'm about to load some 200 gr XTPs using Power Pistol. I'd like to do a max load without going +P. What charge do you use, and what COL?
Thanks,
LBS

The following was copied from Allient's reloading guide....according to them 8.3 grains for a Speer GDHP is their recommended load for PowerPistol...I believe that this load will be totally safe because I shoot 10 grains of PowerPistol in my .45 Super with a 200 grain cast bullet with no problems...
