I have been shooting for years, and have just now come to the wise decision to start reloading. I will be loading 45 acp for now. I have several friends that have been reloading, and this is where my question comes in. Some of them tell me not to shoot/reload lead bullets, the others say use only lead , and no copper jacketed. The ones that tell me to use lead only says it will save your barrel wear, the others tell me the lead will really lead up my barrel and make it very hard to clean. Also I have heard swc's feed better (200gr) in 1911's. Can anyone of you guys that know what you are doing give me some advice? I have always shot factory FMJ for practice, and my barrel's seem fine. Although when I start reloading I will be shooting a lot more. Thanks
