    I can recall being involved in a couple of 'spirited discussions' on other forums about the necessary hardness for .45 ACP boolits. A lot of people still believe they have to be harder than woodpecker lips! When I asked the other participant(s) why so many millions of swaged lead boolits had been loaded and shot in 1911s with perfect satisfaction and no leading over the decades, they all got kind of quiet!

    The swaged loads in my lw commander were pretty filthy, but in my rough barreled 1917 were a disaster.
