I've been reloading cast 200gr RNFPs in my 45s. I went with cast because they are so freakin cheap. I can get them for about half the cost of FMJ and about 2/3 the price of plated. I really want to like them. I've tried different powder charges, seating lengths, crimps, ect..
I'm just getting tired of cleaning lead out of my barrels. I don't get horrible leading, but what I do get is a [beeep] to clean! It's just the first inch of the barrel really. I've tried the chore-boy trick and about to just cave in and get the lewis lead remover.
After all this "drama" dies down and components are available, I'm going to make a pretty big purchase of some 45 bullets. I think I'm just going to pay up and switch over to plated or FMJ. It's gonna be a hit to the pocket book but 1) still cheaper than factory ammo 2) I won't have to mess around cleaning as much.
Anyone else gave up on lead?
