I've made a couple slight modifications to my new ATI FX Military 1911, a clone of the 1911A1. Then I took it back to the range.

This is a long winded follow-up to my recent video asking:  why do most of my 45ACP bullets shot from my 1911 have "funny" marks on the side?  Also, how soft can our cast bullets be in our semi autos before the chambering process causes too much damage to the bullet nose as it contacts the feed ramp?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Shots fired! This was the first time I got to fire my new ATI FX Military 1911, a clone of the 1911A1. I did some testing with two different powders.

Thorsaxe sent me some of his .45 caliber SWCs cast from a Hensley and Gibbs (H&G) 130 clone. (It may not be an exact copy, but it’s pretty close.) I loaded these and shot them in my ATI FX Military 1911.
