I just changed reloads for my Kimber Eclipse Target II for a lighter load with:

230 Gr. Plated round nose.
3.9 Gr. Clays.

I haven't fired for velocity yet, but this seems to be a pet load for 5" 45 ACP for some experienced shooters.

Sorry, there is a question here. I changed out to a 14 lb. recoil spring and the round is very soft, however a little sluggish. Should I change to a lighter recoil spring?

Thanks.

John

That's the nature of the powder and that load. It's sluggish. Some like that soft mushy feel. I don't. I don't want to be aware of the slide moving, so I choose a zippier powder - TiteGroup with a 15# spring.
