.45 ACP Cylinder for .45 Colt New Vaquero - Ruger Forum
Apr 13, 2020 · A much more practical approach would be to buy a New Vaquero 45 Convertible and sell your 45 Colt New Vaquero. Currently, Ruger has two models of New Vaqueros available in 45 Convertibles. A Model 5141 with a 5 1/2" barrel and a 5144 with a 4 5/8" barrel. Blackhawks are also available in 45 Convertibles with a larger selection.
Plus P OK for Vaquero's? - Ruger Forum
Jan 22, 2012 · Plenty of threads on this subject here but i'm thinking it would be a dangerous practice, Ruger warns NOT to use any loads above standard pressure (14,000psi) in a .45 Colt marked New Model. This means +P loads, ie. Ruger-T/C only loads must NOT be used in a New Vaquero! Not only is this a extremely dangerous practice, it voids any claim with ...

If the load information on the box says 45 Colt, 45 Long Colt, 45 LC, etc. and does NOT have a +p mentioned, it should be fine for the new vaquero. The hot loads refer to cartridges with pressure exceeding specification for the actual load. They are not safe in the NEW vaqueros.
Better For Bear .357 or .45 LC - Ruger Forum
Feb 10, 2015 · Although there is a small camp that claims the smaller diameter .357 penetrates better (very small). .45 Colt is a great round and can be loaded up to kill most any bear. But it's generally agreed that you need a larger frame gun than a New Vaquero for those loads. I split the difference and got a SBH 44mag. Good luck.
New Vaquero 45LC loads - Ruger Forum
Dec 14, 2012 · The .45 Colt New Vaquero will NOT handle Ruger Only Loads. You will be able to shoot what is called 'tier 2' loads which are in the 20,000psi range, but NOT tier 3 in the 30,000psi range. You need the large frame BH, Bisley, or original Vaquero for that.

New Vaquero Loads - Ruger Forum
Dec 11, 2009 · That's because 45 ACP SAAMI pressure runs 21,000 psi. The New Vaquero 45 Colt is rated for 14,000 psi. No doubt it could handle a bit more pressure but I think 21,000 is way too high. Unless you have pressure measurement equipment, I think it is too risky to hot load these guns. The new Speer #14 reloading manual has a big bold caution in the ...
