Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.
I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.
Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
Brian Pierce of HANDLOADER magazine had a load of 6.5 grains of 231 under the RCBS 270 (280) grain bullet for 782 f/s and 14,000 psi No loads in the 20,000 psi range were posted using 231
Since this subject has come back to life , I have Ken Waters "Pet Loads" and for the 45 Auto Rim - w/ 250 gr. cast lead SWC - sized .452"
5.0 grs Unique - gave the best accuracy in a 1917 S&W revolver .
Note : Starting Load - 5.0 grs Unique @ *750 fps
Maximum Load - 6.2 grs. Unique @ *824 fps
* - velocities tested in S&W model 1956 Target - 6 1/2" bbl. length .
There was no data for 231 - Speer Reloading Manual #9

I load a 275 from hunter's supply with Bluedot in my 7" Longslide and get around 1000fps.
I do have a heavier spring. The cases tumble out at my feet. I don't think I'm running it too hard. I'm not going to shoot them in my Star PD
