    Lead bullets in Colt Defender

    I have just started reloading and have been using Rainier plated round nose bullets with great success.
    Now to lower costs a little more, I have been looking at Missouri Bullets.

    Are there any issues with using this type of bullet?
    Thanks

    I used Missouri Bullet Co. bullets. They are quality. I've loaded a couple of thousand of the .230 gr. lead RN and .200 gr. SWC. My shooter 1911 feeds either with zero problems.

    I use that same bullet in mine all the time. Works great for me. Pay attention to C.O.L. and energy levels. Too light doesn't work well in my defender

    I shoot both of these in my Defender. They are both H&G 68's. Actually the left one is out of a vintage Hensley mold from the early to mid 30's. The right one is a later Hensley & Gibbs mold from the 40's to 70's. They both shoot well. If you buy a Wilson mag the paper work that comes with the mag states the H&G 68 is the most reliable lead semi wadcutter for the 45acp. They even give recommended oal, and crimp dimensions.
