sg1911 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I plan to start loading some Bayou bullets for a 1911 RO. I am interested in opinions as to the best bullet style , rn, fn , or swc and bullet wt for steel competition. Looking for light recoil but reliable function.

scottlep Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 115 round nose is what I use in my 9mm 1911s and 2011s. Seem to feed the best. Depending on the powder you choose you can probably drop down to an 8lb recoil spring and run some super light loads (most 9mm 1911s ship with a 9 or 11lb recoil spring) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I like these, very accurate and run well in my pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottinohio Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Steve,who makes that bullet? Thanks Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 RN FMJ or plated always fed the best for me. Anything flat nose was hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc7x7 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 They all run and shoot accurately in my guns Suggest you get 100 or 250 trail packs and load them and shoot them RN or TC tend to feed in most guns SWC can be a pain but not good ones usually Good fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 For optimum accuracy I have the best luck with JHP's- 124 gr. in my guns. I use Precision Delta or Montana Gold. They are quite obviously more expensive than coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 JHP have a more rearward weight distribution which is supposed to be a lot better for accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
