I have a Sig P220. It has a 4.4" barrel. I like the 230 Golden Saber a lot in this handgun. I use 5.2 grains of Bullseye at 1.218-1.220 overall length. This has great accuracy plus your 850 fps muzzle velocity. The velocity is pretty consistent. This is my standard load. A more accurate, but slower, load out of my P220 is 4.8 grains of IMR 700X with a round nose, such as Rainier, at 1.275. I don't like the Montana Gold 230 jhp or XTP's out of this pistol, at least not yet, although they're great in my .40. Good luck.
