I have no data for Accurate #2. Can't help there.

If you have Bullseye, 5.5 gr. is maximum and 6.6 gr. is maximum for Unique. I'd work up carefully to as close to those as possible.

My back up ammo should I not have factory in my gun is usually either a 230 gr. cast over 5.0 gr. of Bullseye which duplicates the original 1911 load or 5.0 gr. of Unique with a 200 gr. semi-wadcutter.

I won't go into all the fuss and bother some will spout off about not using hand loads or "reloaded" ammo for self defense. It that's what is in your gun at the moment truth it won't make any difference. You walk away and the bad guy doesn't. Regardless, it the spit hits the fan it's gonna get nasty regardless the outcome. And that's the God's truth.

Use 200 grain load data from a reloading manual.

Happy,
I have shot a lot of Accurate rifle powder in my time, Don at Accurate is very helpful about any question you might have pistol or rifle. The Accurate #1 reloading manual does not give a load for the 210 gr bullet in question, but does give a starting load for a 200 gr SWC.
