If you could find some Cowboy Action ammo, it is always downloaded, and they are now allowing 1911s to be used in some special category. I don't shoot CAS, so I am not up to speed on their categories.

You most likely won't be putting a "ton" of ammo downrange, so you should be fine.

I recently bought an old Springfield M1911. I've been shooting it with Remington UMC 230gr FMJ rounds. Is this OK? I didn't know about the difference in metals.
