Before I switched to Clays for 45 Colt, I loaded a lot of 5.5gr Titegroup (Hodgdon's minimum at the time) with a 200gr bullet, they were fine.  This was also the minimum in the LaserCast manual.  Now Hodgdon has increased that minimum up to 6.5gr, I have no idea why.  That is way too hot for CAS (933fps).

I was using 5.5 gr behind 200 gr. Another cowboy friend was using 4.7 gr/200 gr bullet. I switched to 4.7 almost 2 yrs ago with no problems.

I just started loading some .45’s. I’m using  6.0 of HP38 with a 200 gr bullet .
I’m only shooting them from a 24” 73 no pistols
