.45 ACP Lead

I suppose this is the right forum for this question. Somewhere along the way I picked up 300 rounds of Ultramax remanufactured .45 ACP. It's not FMJ Ball, but rather plain RN lead. Should I be concerned about how this will cycle in a 1911? Am I correct that I will have more lead removal to worry about? This will be shot through a Kimber Compact. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

  Our department used it for training / qualification ammo for a few years. No problems.

  I shoot mostly lead in my 1911, works fine. Leading is minimal because the velocity is so low,if it looks to be leaded shoot a couple rounds of ball ammo it will clean it out.

  THAT IS ALMOST ALL I SHOOT OUT OF ALL MY 45s there not 100%
  
  
  i reload mine and keep them around 900 FPS work great, RN OR SWC, every now and then one will jam up

  RR, the lead loads are lighter and more pleasant to shoot so if having a better more enjoyable time for less money bothers you don't shoot them!!!
  I shoot them thru my Kimber Custom II and they are flawless and so sweet and I am saving money to boot.
