Thanks for the compliment John Van Gelder
I load the Lee TL452-230-2R to an OAL of 1.265
That's the same overall length as my old military hardball, according to my digital calipers.
It has always fed flawlessly in my old, and new 1911's when using standard Colt GI Magazines.
If I could say anything bad about the boolit, it would be that it tears paper targets. I can live just fine with that, since it feeds so well.
A Truncated Cone, or a Wad Cutter will make a much cleaner hole in paper.
