I refuse to believe there is significant difference between .429 and .452 for a straight wall cylinder. .44 Magnum and .45 Colt can be the same, if the only .45 Colt you own is a stout and sturdy Ruger.
The difficulty comes in if you also own a .45 built like a light and well balanced Colt, Uberti or now (just the make us crazy) one of the light weight .45 Colt Ruger’s.
Don’t put a specialty Ruger Only load in a lightweight .45 by mistake. That’s one advantage of .44 Magnum... all .44 Mags should handle the top end loads. This isn’t true for .45 Owners reloading hot.
I like to think of my .45 Magnum as a “Ruger only” .44-40. Now I have all the old time romance of the .45 Colt.
Blue Nitre... Great for dressing up screws for fancy art guns! It simply isn’t tough enough for exterior surfaces!
