    It is very hard to beat gp11 Swiss surplus. Be careful of your Bullet length as the throats are very short. Dies do matter. Some are made for the K31 chamber and others for the slightly different M1911 chamber. Good luck!

    Thank you for the heads up on the dies and the seating depths. I did a little more digging on line after you mentioned it and saw exactly what you are saying, and I checked all my manuals, each one that uses a 1911 has seating depths much too long for the k31. Thanks again!

    My fl die ended up being for the 1911 chamber. I went ahead and sized all my ppu brass with it, but am going to get Hornady k31 dies before I size the Norma brass.
