I would REALLY like to start loading 160gr Cast LRNFP's for my 1911's simply because I don't really need to send 230gr of hard to get lead down range. My problem is finding load data for this particular cast bullet. Even Lee who manufactures the mold only references 155gr lead bullets.
My question is: How much trouble can I get myself into using published load data for a 155gr .451 LSWC on 160gr .452 LRNFP's? My powder choices are Universal, AutoComp and TrailBoss. I really don't care to be picking very expensive pieces of 1911's up off the ground because I decided to play crash test dummy. Any help would be appreciated.
