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.
Whatever!
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.
Whatever!
need small amout of tin to fill out mold properly,,,still very soft,,,been doing for long time,, no problems in .45--9mm, .357
