1911 .45 preferred bullet & weight

The #68 H&G has been the staple for accurate .45acp loads for decades. 3.9 (with reduced spring) to 4.5 grains of Bullseye is a proven tackdriver. SNS Casting's bullets are very high quality and you can't beat the price. They cut very clean holes which help in scoring as well. http://www.snscasting.com/45-acp-200-gr-swc-45_200swc/

This is shot offhand at 15 yards with a Glock no less.

Are you using lead on the Glock OEM barrel or an aftermarket?
I'd like to go with lead but got warned off from using it in the polygonal barrels.

Can you use the same projectile for 45ACP and Long Colt?
Would like to get a SA revolver and lever gun in 45LC over 38

Extreme 200's with 6.7 of unique or 230's with 6.0. Both work like a champ.

I have been running 200gr lead SWC over 5.0-6.0 gr of W231 for the last 27 plus years.

5.0 for target and 5.8-6.0 for IPSC type shooting.

Leading has never been a problem.

Massguy, I use a KKM barrel but you can use the polymer coated bullets in the factory barrel.
