got close to 7K of lead 200 gr SWC's through my PT1911 now, can't recall last time I had a fail to chamber or fire. Not since initial break in I guess. I use Wilson and stock Taurus mags, MBC bullets

Considering the melting temp of lead is about 700F I seriously doubt if it would melt on a feed ramp. I wonder how many hundred thousand lead bullets are sold fired every year with no issue through different guns, if there were any serious issues I doubt they would still be selling
