Hi,
New poster, new caster, but long time reloader here :mrgreen:
Several months ago I started casting .45 Auto projectiles. I'm using the non-TL Lee mold for 230gr flat points and I have a few pounds of IMR PB powder that I'm using. I'm shooting just above starting load charges and getting under 700fps velocity but perfect function and great accuracy.
I loaded and shot a few hundred rounds that I tumble lubed with a small amount of MinWax (liquefied with a hair dryer) and every round seemed to be fine and leading wasn't any worse than with commercial cast projectiles in that particular 1911.
But I'm curious if anything about this practice could cause any issues in the future and if anybody else does it like this.
Thanks!
