Thinking ream a Rhineland arms 45acp barrel to 45 Colt for a No1 Mk3 & use a Desert Eagle magazine. Any thoughts? Gunsmith in US for barrel work?

Sounds like great fun if the barrel is thick/heavy enough.
What are your plans for if ?

Was gifted a no1 mk3 DP, thinking back woods truck gun. Wanted something stronger than 45acp. Although Buffalo bore makes a 255 grain hard cast +p 45acp 950fps from 5in 1911. Or 45 Win-Mag loaded to 45 Colt pressure, might be easier - dimensions are the same as 45acp (longer w/thicker rim)

Shit that’s strong load, is that from standard 1911 with standard springs & such ?
Might have better trouble free loading with Rimmless but then again a rim works well in the Lee & the Desert Eagle mag should work also !
Perhaps follow what others have done on these conversions, actually a .303 Brit makes a fine truck gun !

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
