I have been reading in various places that the bevel base can increase the leading of a barrel. It makes sense to me.
I have been having a problem with leading in my 1911. The barrel is nice and shiny and slugs to .4505. The bullets are Saeco 067 225 grn tcbb .452 air dropped WW + enough tin for 2%, about 10-11 bhn. The lube is Rooster hvr which is a nice semi-soft lube fed through a new model Star. I use 4 grns WST and the oal is 1.2 which runs fine in my gun. I still get some leading, I would like even less.
Has anyone ever machined the bevel out of there mould? I would, but my lathe is pretty beat up and I am novice at machining.
Thanks
