I have become the owner of over 1000 rounds of 45 ACP, mostly Federal Premium. The problem I have is that I don't have anything to shoot them in. I've tried selling them but nobody wants to pay what they're worth, even at 30 % off. One dealer told me to buy a gun and shoot them. I was never interested in semi-autos because I didn't feel like chasing brass. Now that I have the ammo it is starting to kind of challenging. I don't mind shooting the jacketed ammo but I'm a CB shooter. My question for all you reading this is what brand semi-auto handgun does a good with cast bullets? I won't have a lot of money and this semi-auto thing is totally new to me. I've been trying to read up on the guns but I don't really know what to look for.
The Kimber and Springfields look like really good guns but $1000 or more is beyond what I'm looking to spend. Rugers and the new Taurus are affordable but are they shootable and will they hold up for a long time. I'm open to any suggestions and if the “you get what you pay for” applies to semi-autos then I may just may have to save a little longer.
Once I get a gun then I'll start picking brains about molds and other components. I'm glad I found this forum because very few people have any clue about cast bullets let alone how to make them shoot.
