    Step 1: find a reloading manual
    Step 2: RTFM (read the f****** manual)

    Never trust the Internet for reloading information.
    You will be trusting your gun, hands, face, eyes, and possibly your life to some anonymous person with a keyboard.

    I have no way of knowing your reloading experience. Your question seemed like a noob question that seems to pop up frequently.

    Most of us can't afford Rem Golden Sabers to try.
    6.0gn of Unique is sort of a "magic" load in my guns for several cartridges and bullet weights.
    I show 9.5gn of AA5 is a "favorite" load for some with the Rem GS.
    For target loads, try Bullseye (4.5gn), AA2 (4.1-4.3gn), Clays (3.7-4.0gn).
    For full power loads, try Silhouette, Power Pistol, or HS6.

    I like power pistol in the 45 . both 185gr and 230 gr bullets. with the 185 I would start mid 7's and work up . I am running 8.0 which is safe in MY Gun

    Clays is what I load 185gr XTPs with, and it works fine for me, never wanted to try loading golden sabers myself, since 99% of my loads for 45acp are strictly target use. I have had great accuracy using Universal clays as well, though the powder is almost never 100% burnt with that powder.
