So i would pick the load that comes closest to shooting X, then file the sights as needed from there.

Of course you are correct. Heavier, slower bullets shoot higher. That said, I can see no earthly reason to shoot anything other than 230 grain bullets in the .45 ACP - FMJ, or JHP, or hard cast lead. This caliber is at its most effective under the broadest variety of circumstances with the 230 grain. The lighter bullets are marketed to those who are unduly impressed with velocity, advertising hype, and "paper ballistics". Or are a bit intimidated by recoil.

Exactly. Which is why I can't understand why guys fit them to their guns, then complain about accuracy at the range. They don't seem to understand their purpose, or the compromises made to achieve that purpose.
