45lc lead in a 45acp case? Any issues?

tbird911 · October 12, 2008, 05:47 PM

HI All,

I just bought a box of 200grn rnfp lead bullets from Missouri Bullet company and then was forced to get out of cowbo shooting. I now have a trusty Colt New Agent that is hungry for some 45acp. My question-- I know the 45lc bullets I have are 200 grn and run .452-- Can I load these into some 45acp brass and go shooting? Or do I need to sell these off and just buuy some 45acp lead to load?

Thanks in advance . . . just being over cautious with the new 1911.
