A momentary lapse of concentration and you convert $1000 worth of gun into $200 worth of spare parts. I've already had carpal tunnel surgery.work related.and "I get hurt easy and heal slower" now that I'm on the high side of 63 years old.īlowing up a gun is not a recommended experience. AFTER their hands and wrists have paid the price for all that fun. There are a bunch of older gun writers praising the 44 Special and lower end 45 Colts after shooting the various wrist wrecker calibers like the. BUT going a little lower on performance will definitely be better for the gun and your hands and wrists. Personally, I would think your comfort level MIGHT be exceeded before the gun's strength is. The steel may be better, BUT it isn't near as strong as a large framed BLACKHAWK in 45 caliber. Treat a NEW VAQUERO (or other mid frame) 45 Colt chambered gun like a COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY. Are those differences enough to account for the pressure differences? I am aware that the cylinder walls of the acp cylinder are ever so slightly thicker due to differences in case dimensions between. 45 acp, why it should be limited to 20,000 in. I'm not particularly smart about these things, but I wonder why, if the New Vaquero can easily handle 21,000 psi in.
It makes the most sense that Ruger would want to do so, at least to me. Since most everyone seems to agree that the edge of safe pressure is somewhere north of 20,000, but not too far north, it would seem that someone would want to actually verify where that edge is. (I keep mine at standard pressure, though.) He wrote that Ruger verified that pressure rating with him and yet, officially, Ruger says nothing and the internet continues to abound with people arguing pressure limits ranging from not more than 14,000, to 20,000, to 21,000, to (grudgingly) 22,000 and even a few hardy souls who say 23,000 is OK.
#Big max rcbs ram pressure plus
45 acp cylinder in the New Vaquero/Flattop to plus P pressure of 23,000 psi. And even then I won't deliberately brew up 9mm+P loads until I have a fair amount of practice under my belt.Īs a previous poster stated, Brian Pearce has written more recently that Ruger approves the. That thing is probably good to at least 80k if not more, with tons of meat in the wall thicknesses. In my case, my first handloads will be 9mm in the NewVaq once I have this Bowen chromoly cylinder blank properly chambered. (Actual working pressure is recommended at 33k to maybe 35k in the large-frames.) The cylinder on those won't break until you hit damn near 80k.Linebaugh for one tested several to deliberate destruction back when he began the trend towards "Ruger ONLY!!!" 45LC+P loads that spank the 44Magnum. Other are strongly saying "20k and no more", and that's probably excellent advice if you're rolling your own.įor that matter, I would say that if you're a beginner handloader, you really ought to consider going with a large-frame and attempting 20k-22k loads at least to start. The fact that the 45ACP cylinder in the same gun can handle 21k for sure suggests that the 22k ceiling is at least "not too crazy". That's pushing it, and I would not deliberately try to get to that point handloading.not without access to pressure test gear at any rate. Some people are of the opinion that the NewVaq45 is good to 22k PSI.
