Hello, I know this has probably been covered before
I buy bullets from Montana Bullet works for a 45 Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8"
I slugged my chamber throats at 453.7 average, I never slugged the bore but since this revolver was made in 2008 I am assuming it is around .451-.452. (I know ass-u-and me
If any of you are old enough to remember John Wooters he did an extensive article in a 1985 Guns and Ammo annual on the .45 Colt and said that it was proper to size bullets according to chamber throats and not the bore.
Before I slugged my chambers,I have always bought .454, 15 brn hardness bullets in Keith style SWCs that are extremely accurate in this pistol....my question is; has anyone had problems with cast bullets of this hardness and slightly larger diameters in their pistols? Are there reasons not to use .454 dia. bullets?
