[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2970684, member: 15054"] I went long and short..some of my 45 colt loads were just barely inside the cylinder.. just enough to keep from locking it up. I tried crimping and I tried no crimp with minimal flare that I Ironed flat with a carbide die. I shot 200-350 gr in all configurations. Even tried my Lee cast 45acp bullets and most accurate was the 200gr tumble lube Lee. Looking for that super sweet load. No issues with any of them in my 45 colt Black hawk. I even made powder puff loads that would not penetrate a stump facing you but the 1/2 soft lead would bounce off and come back about 10 feet and hit you in the leg and fall to your feet and leave a greasy spot on your jeans. Felt like a finger flicked you. I also had BlackHawk loads. Give it what it wants. Measure ID and OD of all cases and sort them to the same. 45 colt brass I found was all over the place..I could not make any ammo real accurate in that fat chambered turd. Yea the brass after firing grew about .013" in the chambers... Ruger screwed the pooch on that one. and the pinched down barrel where it screwed into the action. [/QUOTE]
