What are some safe pressures to stay inside on these new Vaqueros, new to the cowboy type guns i accept herd all kinds of stories of failure and mishap'southward on the use of factory ammo and more than so on the loading. I have been using 7.4gr Unique and 200 lead bandage Bullets/have had good success what is you lot recommendation?

I think you can add to that a fleck, but the 7.five shoots pretty dainty in the Vaquero. I likewise shoot Trail Boss at 5.0 and v.5 grains with the 200 grainers. Shoots a little depression, but well. I went to 255 grain bullets with the same powders but lighter charges, and I got to say, the 45 Filly shines with the heavier bullet. four.v and 5.0 and 5.2 of Trail Boss and 7.0 of Unique. Favourite and so far is the 255 grainer with five.2 of Trail Boss. All my bullets are habitation bandage and water quenched wheel weights. I am getting blow-outs out to 10 yards and sub 2" at 20-25 yards, so I am happy. Thosw are all less than 12K psi as far as the manual is telling me. Information technology was designed equally a depression intensity load -- heavy bullets are hard to stop, fifty-fifty at low speed.

I apply Unique with 255 grain bullets for heavier loads. The only New Vaquero .45 Colt I have is my quick depict revolver and has never been shot with the heavy loads I shoot out of my Sometime Vaqueros. I have a friend with a .45 New Vaquero who shoots ten grains of Unique behind 255 grain bullets. That is over max for about every source of data I have seen. Those loads really are frisky. The revolver has non been trashed yet but is fairly new. I load my heavy loads a fair corporeality lighter than those and mostly stick to the loads listed for the older revolvers.

With that in mind y'all can go 255gr bullets going ~1000fps and stay under SAAMI spec for 45 Colt. Ruger has brash the industry that the New Vaquero must non exist fired with loads exceeding manufacture pressure level standards (14,000 psi). If loading for a New Vaquero, use the standard pressure level data in loading manuals and you lot will be good to become. dmsbandit The NEW Vaquero is NO STRONGER than a 1873 Filly Peacemaker. eek Exercise NOT shoot whatsoever load in them that a Colt or Colt clone tin't shoot. crazy They are NO WHERE virtually as stiff as a model 29 or the older Vaqueros. I NEVER advocated using "Ruger just" or "T/C loads" in the new Vaquero, they volition handle Manufacturing plant SAAMI spec ammo. I did hateful the Due north frame .45 Colt guns, non the .44 mag, my bad on that typo. AGAIN, I said modern FACTORY ammo. George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist.

Or good self Defense ammo. Thanks The ruger vaquero is safe with any factoy 45 colt circular. Information technology may exist a bit dicey with the +p stuff offered by some companies. Stick with the standard Winchester, Remington or Federal manufactory loads and all will be well. If you reload stay with the regular 45 colt data, and don't even recall about the ruger/tc information all will be well. Using Alliants online information, there are a number of loads that will recreate the original ballistics of the 45 without going over the sammi specs. I particularly like the 12 grs of bludot, and while I have shot the 10 grs of unique (that has also been listed as far dorsum as the 1940's in the lyman books) I have never found information technology to be as accurate as 8.5-ix grs with a 250-260 gr bullet. the almost expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to. www.historicshooting.com Re: Ammo in New Vaquero 45 Filly [Re: Ranch13] #5927170 12/16/11 Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 73,074 T LEE Bivouac Oracle Bivouac Oracle Joined: February 2001 Posts: 73,074 I push a 250 grain hard cast RNFP with viii.5 grains of Unique fired past a Winchester WLP primer out of a NM Vaquero, Uberti Cattleman and Intearms Hartford Model built by ASM all the time. gives me between 850 & 870 FPS.
