Lead vs jacketed bullets

I have not had a problem with LSWC 200 gr in my 3 1911's. My father also shoots them in his Glock 36. I've only shot 400 rounds in them all together with no issues. Leading has not been an issue either, about to purchase a lewis lead removal kit for clean-up Anyone used one of these????

Depending on the powder smoke can be an issue, but so far I have had great luck with 700-X and bullseye. One thing I have noticed is; when the round in being chambered the feed ramp is scraping some lead off my bullet, so far this has not effected the accuracy but it has potential too.

I bought one last year. Works great. I bought it for my Ruger Vaquero and Blackhawk, but it works just as well on my 1911's. This year I bought the adapter for .38/9mm. Works great in those calibers too.

Brownell's has a video on their site on the use of the Lewis Lead remover. A good resource.
