Good afternoon Gents:
I have been reloading ammunition for over 30 years now so I am out of touch with the availability of "factory" ammo. Yesterday, a friend of mine purchased a Colt Gold Cup 1911 45 ACP and he does not want to get into reloading (I know, I think he is nuts also). Anyway, he went on line and the only Company that showed anything at all for 230 grain RNL 45acp was Ultramax. Ultramax is having serious issues now and can not supply their distributors like Midway, Natchez, Cabela's, etc, and so their line has been dropped by most retailers.
Most of the indoor Ranges here in my neck of the woods will not let you shoot anything but lead, so that is what he is relegated to. Does anybody here know where I could steer him to so he can purchase LEAD 230 grain ball ammo?? I have been trying to get him into reloading for a while, but he just won't bite, so he needs to find a good reliable source.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
