Welcome to the madness. One thing you might want to do is to put in your state in your location. You might get someone local that will help give you some face to face mentoring.

I had a problem with my cast in my RIA 1911. I contacted DougGuy on here and had him throat and crown my barrel. It eats what ever I feed it now. He does great work at a fair price.

I had a similar problem with my Rock Island 1911. I sent it to DougGuy and had the barrel done and now it will feed anything I put in it. He does good work and you will not regret having it done.

Mold are hard to find. I have been checking every day for about 3 weeks trying to find a mold for a new .40 SW. I guess that I can wait for them to catch up. No Lee or M-P molds. Not much selection...

When I cast for my Ruger 480, I have to pour with a larger stream to get them to fill out. Open up the valve to pour faster.
