Just for the record, I DO understand that 9.0 is at the top end of the range, I just wanted to be sure it wasn't ABOVE it. swc pushed by 8.5 grains of Unique. There is no reason why the .45 Colt and the .44 Magnum cartridges should have same pressure safety margin. I have, a .45 Long Colt case in fact. Just this past month I received a set of Lyman's .45 Colt dies and they exhibit the same attention to quality as the RCBS veteran dies. All of these loads will group right at one-inch shooting from a rest at 25 yards with my Smith & Wesson Model 25-5 .45 Colt. I stick to Colt or Ruger revolvers for my personal use. The following quote from the section of the Speer Reloading Manual No. Since doing the first Taffin Tests on the .45 Colt over six years ago, we have seen the disappearance of the Smith & Wesson Model 25-5 in .45 Colt, but the Colt Single Action Army is back once again and doing well; the Colt Anaconda is the first double action .45 from Colt in over fifty years; Ruger has introduced the Vaquero in both blue and stainless with the first chamberings in .45 Colt; Smith has come back with a clone of the 1988 five-inch heavy barreled stainless .45 ACP, this time in .45 Colt; and both Cimarron and EMF are importing totally upgraded single action replicas that are dead-ringers for the 19th Century Colt Peacemakers with the premier chambering being in, what else, the .45 Colt. These happened to be hand measured test loads, and the unexpected velocity was consistent, not caused by an inadvertent double charge or something like that. The latest heavyweight bullet available to those that cast their own is Lyman's #452651, a 325 grain round-nosed bullet that should penetrate from here to breakfast and groups at one-inch with 19.5 grains of H110 for 1100 feet per second. Again, use only in heavy-duty sixguns! 8.0grs Unique with a 250 to 255gr bullet is a factory duplication load. I would expand upon that and say still will remain the coyote and the .45 Colt. (The Hornady 250 grain bullet has a reputation as a relatively soft bullet.) The heavyweight bullets, 300 grains and above, are still the bullet of choice for the handgun hunters that I run with that prefer the .45 Colt. No other sixgun cartridge has ever been pronounced dead so many times. "This is NOT plinking ammo, this load should only be used in those guns that have the steel to handle the power. At first I thought the gun had blown up. BUT THEY CANNOT! I would be very judicious in the use of upper end loads in a gun that scarce. Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2,557 Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2,557 Member; Members; 2,557 9,607 posts; Gender: … That was with a Colt SAA too so I think you're pretty safe in the Ruger. Loaded over 21.2 grains of H110 for 1200 feet per second, it rivals the 340 grain JDJ .45 bullet for accuracy. using the 9.0 load in a S&W model 1950. The reloading manuals that list these restricted loads are pretty coy about the actual pressures involved in such loads. LOADS FOR COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY AND REPLICA SINGLE ACTIONS. The Hornady Handbook, 3rd Edition, says only that the pressures of their loads for the Ruger and T/C "are slightly higher than the earlier Colt revolvers or their replicas can withstand." If I wanted a .45 Magnum I would buy a .454 Casull revolver. I also have a shooting buddy who regularly shoots very high pressure loads in his Ruger Blackhawk Bisley Model, and we have discussed the wisdom of so doing on occasion. These are for use only in heavy duty sixguns such as the Ruger Blackhawk or Bisley, Wesson Firearms .45 Colt, or Freedom Arms Casull. No other sixgun cartridge has so many devoted followers. I suspect that all that saves some of these guys and their guns is that they don't actually shoot enough of their super powerful loads to reach that point.

It should be since the .44 Magnum operates at about 2.5 times the maximum SAAMI pressure of the .45 Colt. The recoil from that shot felt like a high pressure load. The maximum loads in the Speer Manual give MV's of 1343 fps with the Speer 225 grain bullet and 16.0 grains of Blue Dot powder, 1183 fps with the 260 grain bullet and 20.5 grains of W-296 powder, and 1193 with the 300 grain bullet and W-296 powder. Federal is the only brand of .45 Colt case that I currently reload. They list 19.9 grains of Alliant 2400 powder as giving their 250 grain bullet a MV of 1350 fps. (Not in my gun or with my loads, though!) Finally this last load is only to be used in the Ruger .45 Colt Bisley or Freedom Arms or custom five-shot .45 Colt sixguns. There is also a better selection of .429" bullets for the handloader.
