.45 ACP Ball Duplication Loads in a Colt

Warning! Notes: Loads were fired in a Colt 1911A1 5-inch barrel. Handgun was a new reproduction of an original version and was manufactured in the first seven years of the twenty-first century. All chronograph readings are for five shots with the start screen at approximately 6 feet. Bullets cast were poured of straight Linotype, which is why their actual listed weights do not coincide with catalog weights, sized .451 inch and lubed with SPG. Oregon Trail commercially cast bullets were sized .452 inch and lubed with its proprietary lubricant. All primers were Winchester Large Pistol. Cases were not sorted by brand. Handloads fired in the Model 1911 autoloader were taper crimped. (Handloader Issue #290 - June, 2014)
