I've been loading RMR match plated RN 230gr bullets in 45acp for quite a while with great success but I've decided I want to go with a coated LSWC like I use for my 44mag SBH for future loads. My reloads are for range use and I really like the clean punched holes that the swc leaves.
My questions are:
Will LSWCs feed properly in most 1911s?
What weight gives the best combination of feeding, power, & accuracy? (Not looking for velocity)
Is there a certain COAL with LSWCs that ensures feeding success?
I load for a DW Heritage, my son's Ruger SR1911, CZ97B, and a RIA 4" commander size. I know I may have issues with the cz, but I'd really like LSWCs in the others for sure.
Any thoughts would be appreciated because I know many folks on THR have a great deal of reloading experience. (Sure wish RC was still with us!)
Thanks.
(Pet loads/bullet combinations are welcome!)
