1911 Colt "Black Army"

rhuff · 12-31-2012, 05:06 PM

If your reloader friend wants to load you some "soft" loads for your 1911, tell him to use some Xtreme 200gr plated RN bullets with a reduced powder charge/target load, and they will feed just fine. If they are too soft, then you will need to install reduced weight recoil springs for 100% reliability.

These old warhorses were designed for hardball round nose ammo. They can be made to feed other bullet profiles, but I didn't want to alter my barrels.
