well the title pretty much says it.
My question is? anyone have any experience with the 45 ACP upper and cast bullets?
can you use the cast bullets with out any adverse affect on the gas system?
basically will the lube or the lead clog up the gas system?
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

The 45 upper I have is made by Olympic Arms. It is a blowback system,so there is no gas system for lube or lead to clog up.What I have found with lead bullets is that you have to go to a very heavy crimp so the bullets don't get pushed back in the case when its going up the feed ramp.

I think the new production semi-only Thompson would be very cool. You should buy one so you can tell us how it works. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Blammer I'll rent you time on my Dillion 550 in exchange for AR parts. You can't properly feed a Tommy gun fron a single stage press<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
