MichaelK: I removed the barrel from the gun (colt series 70) tried both dia. of bullets. The .451 dropped rite in, the .452 had to be pushed in. Some harder then others (mixed brass). The slide rams them home so no feeding problems. I should say that I have been shooting these sized at .452...

NuJudge: I am not sure if at .451 they will bump up or not. At .452 the slide seats them to the head space and they extract good and I don't see anything that looks like signs of pressure. I'm just going to have to try them at.451 and see. If they don't lead I am good to go.

Well I tried some lsw sized .452 and they chamber a little hard. They just don't drop in like the .451 does. I guess I'll have to try sizing them at .451. Bullets are cast in ww so they should bump up. I haven't slugged the bore yet, but now I'm thinking that the chamber dia. is going to...

Thanks everyone, .452 it is.

I will be casting 200gr lswc for a Colt 1911. My question is should they be sized at .451 or .452? The FMJ stuff is all .451.....just not sure. Thanks.

I got mine in Dec.09 serial no. 23,300

I use a dab of Lubriplate on my 1911 rails, good stuff.

Sheldon: I have not fired any of the strange looking wad cutters yet. Should be interesting too.

strangelittleman: Thanks for the info. Now I have a better idea of what I'm dealing with.

These were in the mix of the TZZ ammo. There are some IMI also but not much. These two bullets could be either one of the two Mfg. The one with the little nub on the end of it, there were 3 of them. And of the other there were 172. Does anyone know what there purpose was?

Thanks again guys. HorseSoldier: The TZZ ammo is all stamped 85. Must be same stuff you have fired before. Recoil seem stiff to me because all I've shot in the gun are mild lead reloads. But this is not so much about me and recoil, it was about my pistol. I think full loads of ball ammo is...

Thanks everyone for your input. rondog: Good info. I'm looking into the recoil calibration pak. gglass: I bought the ammo a year ago last month. Got it here------ http://www.rguns.net/

I bought a 1000 rds. of this in 45acp hardball with the head stamp TZZ. The recoil is beating the crap out of my Colt MKIV series 70. I put in a heavier recoil spring that I've had so long I don't remember what the lb. rating is. The spring has 30 coils and is .047 dia.. Anyway it does not help...

Thanks. Thaddeus Jones, I really liked that gun.

Stainz, You are a very good salesman. I do want a dedicated 44 spl. and the 4 in. 629 looks like it will fill the bill. I have a M29 8 3/8 that i got some 25years ago. I no longer shoot it (haven't for years) for fear of the dreaded ding The gun is just to darn beautiful. I'll post the...
