Check your load manuals or get over to Hodgdon Powders on line and look it up. Not wise to just guess.

Only info I can find on 185 jacketed with 231 in .45 Colt says 7.6 to 8.5.  Even the Hornady manual doe not show a load for a 185 XTP in .45 Colt.

You might want to check Winchester's web site - they have some reload data for their powders listed on the site.
