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.

I also use 5.1 gr W231 (identical to HP-38) under a 230 grain LRN.

New reloaders...start at low end of published data and work up to these loads, and take notes

I have yet to start reloading full time. Since we are in the grasp of a possible move I am not setting up for reloading. Once I know, which should be by January 1, if we are moving, I will hatch a plan.

I am, however, buying supplies, and if I come across good deals I will buy alot(W231) and pass the supplies to COTEP members at exact cost. I'll pay the shipping since I missed so many birthdays here. Let's just hope I can make that one score that is trying to peek over the horizon!
