As the title says, has anyone tried using #2 ogive cast bullets in their 1911? I'm afraid the angle may be too shallow for the gun to feed reliably, or the bullet may be seated too deep to get the proper COL. I bought a 6 cavity lee 230gn rn #2 ogive mold at an estate sale, hopefully it will work for me.

I had some 220HP and I noticed that the MAG had issues before the 1911 did. Wilson Combat ETM mags are NOT fans of .45 HP apparently...7 Billion people on the planet. They aint ALL gonna astronauts. Some will get hit by trains...
Need GOOD SS pins to clean your brass? Try the new and improved model...
And remember- 99.9% of the lawyers ruin it for the other .1%... -
OP you're good to go. I shoot 200gr wide-meplat LRNFP's in mine with no problems."San Francisco Liberal With A Gun"
F***ing with people's heads, one gun show at a time. Hallelujah!

Thanks guys, I'm going to cast a few and see how they work. I have cast and shot thousands of SWC but I tend to get a couple failure to feeds every now and then. Hopefully the RN will be more reliable.Comment

The 2R should be easier to feed than the 1R, and neither is any problem feed/chamber-wise.
Many/most 1911s can feed an empty case.
My snark is: why buy the mold and THEN question whether it will work?
If I had to shoot 230gn, it would be a TC. SWC tend to be a bit more accurate than TC, which are a bit more accurate than RN.Comment
