1680 probably won't give you great velocity on the 230gr pistol bullets. But if it's just for plinking, then velocity doesn't really matter. Lilgun will give the best velocity, but win296/H110 should work, too. I also had decent results with Enforcer, but it may give you cycling issues on the lower charges, because it's a faster powder than Lilgun. With the little experimenting I have done with 230gr FMJ, I found that the .4515 diameter Sierra's, and Nosler 230gr flat points seem to work better. I think the Nosler's work a little better because they have more bearing surface than the normal .451 diameter 230gr FMJ.

I'm just looking for a cheap, accurate bullet with the same POI as my hunting load. I've got the 230s loaded over 1680 for next weekend. If they don't work out, I'll have to donate them to my dad for his 1911.
