    I size all my .45 ACP to .451. My sprinfield armory 1911 would probably cycle sized at .455-.458 ( lots of round down the barrel 50K-60K ) But i reload for all the neighbors ( 7, 1911's or clones ) and .451 feeds in everyone's. What I may loose in accuracy I gain in confidence that any of my .45 ACP will cycle.

    I use 0.452" exclusively in my 45's -- autos and revolvers. The auto's are from Colt, Wilson Combat, Kimber and Glock (after market barrel). Never had a problem. I'd avoid the Lee FLSD like the plague if in persuit of premium accuracy -- they will reduce the diameter of your "boolit".
