I have looked at three of my manuals and none of them give a load for 230 grain .45 ACP bullet with Red Dot powder. With that being said, if you want to go with 4.5 grains of powder, why not? If it is between the min and max loads, it should be safe. I load all of my rounds starting a mid-range. I may got up and I may go down, according to how they perform in the gun that I am loading it for.
