I got a new Blackhawk conv. this week (won a pump shotgun on a ticket so I put another 50 bucks to the price and exchanged for the revolver). Only got to shoot it 2 times so far, but I'm happy with it. I've been using my regular load of a rn lee 230tl cast from range scrap over W231 powder. I size these at .452 for my 1911. First time out I shot about 30 rounds, next time was 25 rounds, both times no leading. Wet patch followed by dry patch and it's clean! I had one cyl slug mic. at .4515, the other 5 were all .4520 and the barrel is .4510 after a slight constriction at the frame. Hopefully the 45colt cylinder works out as nicely, I haven't played with it at all yet. Now I need to get a new mold, and a leather holster, and some colt brass and dies, and Pachmayr grips.... :)
