To stretch my ammo through the crisis, I'm thinking about reloading for and shooting my .45 acp revolvers in steel challenge. I figure the moon clips should make brass recovery easy and large pistol primers haven't completely disappeared yet.
I cast pure lead for shooting black powder, and would rather not get into alloying if at all possible. If I keep velocities low, would leading be a problem? The powders I have now would be Titegroup or Win231.
The 1917 does have pitting in the barrel that might grab some lead? The other option is a Ruger Redhawk. I shoot the 1917 better, and would rather use that one though.
I figure I won't really know until I try, but wouldn't mind hearing other insight. Thanks.
