    Slight taper from leade to muzzle would be good. the other way, not so good.

    Actually, the thing still shot J-words like a champ, just over 1" at 25 yards from a rest, but I've sworn off copper. I've also sworn off of shortened 1911 platforms with bushingless barrels that can't be swapped easily.

    I see you on the no copper, well unless it's a gas check, for shooting these days.

    Geargnasher, Why don't you fire lap that barrel? It isn't difficult at all. Just do it until there is no longer a taper. Your lapper bullets will cut where it is tight and coast over the looser end.
