OK Dirty Dan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 My favorite source for lead bullets is Brazos Precision. Looks like they have three different 45 profiles available right now: 45 Auto (brazosprecision.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Run Butch Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I use Badman bullets or Evergreen Ballistics LLC both have them the last time i looked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm thinking maybe Pat is looking for loaded ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yes, Abilene, my Dillion 650 is set up for 38 sp and I don’t feel like changing it all around if wild Bunch is not for me. I just want to get enough for about three stages and see if I Like it before I get too involved. I have some 200 grain bullets I load in 45 colt if they are Ok for 45 automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Maybe see if a local wb shooter will let you load some on their press? Or if you trust their hand loads see if they'd be willing to part with some for the cost of components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Evidently most wild bunch ammo for 1911s is handloaded factory lead ammunition does not exist. I better get out my old Lyman Spar-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggus Deal #64218 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Bang n Clang, Bullets by Scarlett both sell WB legal ammo. Go with the 230 gr if you decide to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Choice ammunition is on backorder right now but they make good stuff for WB and Cowboy. Correction! They have 45 ACP in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Not all 1911's will feed RNFP bullets like we use in our 45 Colt loads. Try some in your gun before you load a bunch up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Hurd #12379 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 If you can find some Federal Syntech 45acp ammo you should be good to go. It has a 230gr lead bullet with a synthetic coating. It is rated as 830 fps (190 power factor) which is way more than the 160 power factor I like to be at. Midway is out but I included the link so you can see what I'm talking about. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1017651594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
