- My very light .45 target-loads (200 gn SWC & 4.2 gn Bullseye) tend to
- stove-pipe jam frequently in my 1911A1. I'm thinking of getting a
- light recoil spring for these loads but don't know what "weight" to
- select. Is there a formula or table that is used in selecting springs
- for the .45 or is it done by trial & error?
