Swaging will do it, but at very high cost of equipment. There is no reason
not to use lead in .45 ACP. I have multiple 1911s with many tens of
thousands of lead boolit loads thru them, some well over a hundred
thousand rounds. This cartridge is particularly suitable for boolits,
jbullets are really not necessary ever in the .45 ACP.

true! I have always used only lead alloy for my boolits, even in my rifles I shoot only lead.I saw that kit swagin costs too much for me.is a game that now I can not afford.:cbpour:

Cast, Load, Shoot, that is what works for me.
