I also found the 5.2 grains HP-38 with 230 grain hardball to be a sweet spot load for all 1911s I own. In fact, I'm about to load up a batch in a little while.
Some universal rifle sweet spot loads:
45-70 - 51.5 grains IMR 3031 with 300 grain Rem JHP (safe for all 45-70s, kills deer like the Hammer of Thor)
30-06 - 59 grains IMR 4350 with ANY 150 grain bullet. (NOT a Garand load)
22 Hornet - 11.2 grains IMR 4227 with 35 grain VMax.
