I’ve already apologised...

No need. I just wanted to make sure no one misconstrued, per industry standards, the Colt round is not even near the .44 mag. I know guys hot rod it. That is the exception is all. And really, if you want a .44 mag, shoot a .44 mag. Or a Casull. But hot loads are fine in the Rugers and a few others so long as you don't have any other guns they might accidentally get loaded into.

Check out Buffalo Bore and Corbon, both make some pretty stout loads for the 45 Long Colt. I do allot of hog hunting with a 7 1/2 inch Stainless Ruger Blackhawk covertable 45LC/45ACP, a unique pistol since Ruger never made a convertable in that model.

I use Buffalo Bore 260 grs at 1500 fps and Corbon 300 grs at 1300 fps. That particular load went through both shoulders of a 365 lb bore at 35 yards.
