cracked butt
Member
I've been shooting cast lead in my 1911 all summer, and haven't deleaded the barrel yet. There appears to be a thin strip along one edge of each land in the barrel- it doesn't appear to be excessive yet.
I've heard of people shooting the lead out with a jacketed bullet, but I'm very leary of this idea seeing how thin the barrel is on the gun.
Is it safe to shoot with jacketed bullets without deleading first or will I need to actually strip the gun and scrub it out with copper wool?
