[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2150807, member: 385"] Don't be concerned about using quality hard-cast lead bullets in 1911's. I've fired a few 100,000's of them in various 1911's. Hard cast lead can be very accurate, as well as cost effective. The usual caution against the use of lead bullets applies to polygon rifled barrels, as in stock Glock barrels. Most think that reloading for pistol calibers, other than 9mm, is cost effective for those who shoot a fair amount. If you only shoot 50 rounds every 2-3 months, then getting into reloading will take a long time for the equipment to amortize. .45 ACP is very cost effective to reload, if you shoot enough, say over a hundred rounds a month. Currently reloading components are in short supply, as is loaded ammo. The problem will go away on both fronts in the coming months. It gets down to how much you shoot. Don't fool yourself that you will spend less money if you reload; you'll just get to shoot a whole lot more for the same money. [/QUOTE]
