Dang it! I bought a bunch of cheap .45acp ammo to feed something that eats it really fast. But it turns out that I should only shoot brass through the bullet hose. So now I have about 600 rounds each of steel and aluminum cased ball ammo sitting in a safe.
With excess steel and aluminum rounds on hand, maybe this is a good year to polish my slowly decaying combat pistol skills and shoot 'em all up with a trusty Springfield Armory 1911?
Question: Will 1200 steel/aluminum cased rounds hurt a healthy 1911 if I keep it clean and replace the $15 mainspring once or twice? Is one (steel or aluminum) any better/worse than the other?
Thanks in advance for insight.
