Pay no attention to Arthur he suffers from to many Colt kicks in the head.

I would not consider the semi Thompson suitable for a steady diet of +P ammunition; the light weight bolt and lack of retardation or locking mechanism offer only minimal resistance to chamber pressure. Stick with “factory ball” loads and you should be OK.
The original specification for 45 ACP was for a 230 gr. bullet and 5 gr. of powder (unspecified other than “smokeless”). This gives a total ejected mass of 235 gr. As the use of slower powders requires an increase in charge weight (even to produce standard velocities), the impulse to the bolt is increased accordingly.
I have used a load of 5.0 - 5.2 gr. of WW 231 and a 230 gr. RN plated lead bullet for years and find it to be satisfactory in any situation requiring “ball loads” for the 45 ACP
