I use 4.1 of VVN340 You can generally figure a starting point of ten percent less powder for a lead bullet verses a jacketed bullet of the same weight,
Caveat. I have a frame mounted dot, and a 13 pound spring in the gun. And it is a 1911 9mm with a KKM barrel.

Many of the most popular powders sold under the Hodgdon brand in the USA (including Varget and H4350) are made by ADI Ltd. in Australia.
