Loads I've used that work well (Spiff):

9mm:
3.3 grains of Titegroup, 147 grain plated bullet

45 ACP:
6 grains of Unique, 230 grain plated bullet, 1.250 to 1.260 OAL
5.5 grains of Winchester 231, 230 grain plated bullet, 1.250 to 1.260 OAL
5.3 grains of Winchester 231, 230 grain plated bullet, 1.250 to 1.260 OAL

.223:
25 grains of Winchester 748, 55 grain FMJBT, 2.230 OAL, 2900 FPS
25.5 grains of AA 2230C, 55 grain FMJBT, 2.230, 3000 FPS

What's the FPS for each of these loads?

What's the FPS for each of these loads?

Not sure about the 9mm load, it met IPSC's minimum power factor at the time, I do know that. I'll have to dig out my chrono data.

6 grains of Unique will push the 230 grain bullet at roughly 860 out of a 5" 1911. My Glock 21 is the same. The Glock 30 is a bit slower. This was my self defense load, I've since increased it to 6.1 grains in order to get the Glock 30 that I carry up to 850.

The 231 loads are my plinking loads and they run about 700 - 750. This is out of my Glock 21.

If you want actual chrono'ed numbers I can get them when I get home. None of these loads are on the ragged edge except the 6.1 grains of Unique which is getting up there.
