I had some load data for a compensated/ported 1911 in 9mm... the fellow shot 90 grain frangibles with something like 4.2 grains of Bullseye. However he also had a lighter recoil spring in that little gun.

For the record, this is a stock G34 as far as the springs and such are concerned.

I know this will not sit well with everyone, but before springs were readily available, gunsmiths as well as do-it-yourselfers would cut a few coils off a spring to reduce it. I cut five coils off my Glock 34 recoil spring and it has worked great for several thousand rounds. This won't work on a Gen 4 . Mine is a Gen 3. You can also order a reduced power spring. I would use an 11 pound spring with the 90 grain bullets and try 4 grains of bullseye.

I have the same bullets that you are using, but I am using them in a compensated G-17, with five coils cut off, and 6.7 grains of AutoComp. They shoot great and make a good splatter mark on the plates.
