Be careful using the load data off the AA website. Under 45 acp they list 230 lead min 7.7 at 852fps to 8.5 at 968fps they list this for round ball lead but it is the only 230 grain lead listing.
I loaded 230 grain lead bullets at 7.8 figuring a light load. It wasn't. When I got home I checked their +P data 230 HDY XTP 7.7 at 868fps to 8.1 at 909fps. So what I thought would be a light load was +P. Accurate but not comfortable in a Colt Commander.
