Loaded and fired 24 rounds from a 1911.
Seemed to work fine. Some PC particulates in barrel after. Swabbed out as easily as any residue from factory ammuniton would.

Next step: Home brew BP & H48 reloaded primers.

Be sure the pc is cured, powder manufactured recommendations, some are 400’ for 20-30 min. Smash test with hammer good.

Assume it's pure lead? 45 is kinda low pressure, try it in 9mm.

Eastwood powder. Smash tested real good.
Im a little worried about pure PB 9mm, but its on the to-do list.

I've done 50:1 in 40sw but not PCd. Got to watch, they come out sized smaller. and the 9mm case is really tough.
