Seeking AutoComp Powder Load for 45 ACP Precision Pistol Wad Gun

[YippeeKiYoRed]

Posting this here since it's a load requirement unique to competitive shooting.

Context is Precision Pistol, a.k.a. Bullseye. Looking for a starting load using AutoComp powder for a 1911 .45 ACP Wad Gun. Will be using 185 grain SWC cast bullets ("Zero" brand). Target muzzle velocity of 700-800 fps. I've exhausted all of the manuals in my reloading library. First time developing a load for this pistol.

P.S. Reloading library includes Lyman, Lee, Hornady, Sierra and Nosler manuals.

Look in the classifieds here.
Also, .45acp was originally loaded with Bullseye powder, which is still produced and excellent.

Auto comp produces a lot of velocity. Hodgdon data starting loads are above the velocity of where you want to be.

If you are loading for bullseye shooting the best load I have ever found is 3.5 gr bullseye powder for your 185 gr wadcutter bullet.
