I know I'm going to start something here.
Here goes?.?....
Why load the Ruger Blackhawk in .45Colt with Hot Loads ?
I have had a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44Mag about as long as a .45Colt Blackhawk. 40yrs +
I can load .44Mag Full Power Loads, so why "Magnamize" the .45Colt ?
I currently have SBH's in a 7 1/2" bbl and 5 1/2" Heavy bbl's.
And a .45Colt Blkhk in a 4 5/8" bbl.
And while I have loaded a few RCBS 45-270-SAA over a stout charge of Unique.
I haven't done so in a very long time.
So why turn the .45Colt into a .44Mag ?
I Really do want to know ? as I see no reason for it.
Or for bullets heavier then 285grs. And I only mention that weight in particular because that's the weight the mold drops in 20/1.
