[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1198949, member: 796"] For a conventional-rifled barrel and ordinary loads, I've found the .45 ACP to be one of the easier calibers for cast lead bullets. Super hard lead is not needed, and any reasonable lead alloy seems to work well. For example ordinary wheelweights softened a bit with lead and lubed with any good lube (I use ALOX) shoot OK for me. Now if you're trying to turn the .45 ACP into a magnum, that's more of a problem. It also helps if you barrel is smooth, and you keep both the lead and copper cleaned out of it. Lead and copper stick to each other really well. [/QUOTE]
