No; not chamber mouths- chamber.
How are they these days?
Let me review what I knew last:
Saami specs allow a lot of extra room in 45 Colt chambers. Modern dies, factory ammo and brass are much smaller.
The Smiths are usually somewhat tighter than Ruger. There isn't a lot of metal there for them to be generous in chamber size anyway.
I thought Ruger chambers were the biggest until I got my Marlin 45 Colt.
Freedom Arms makes tight chambers but that costs you.
So- where are we today?
Specifically, is there any reason for me to believe that the Ruger chambers on their Bisley Blackhawk hunter in 45, the Bisley, and their Redhawk in 45, are any tighter than the standard Blackhawks?
I'd really appreciate some answers. If I thought the chambers on the Redhawk were tighter I'd get another Redhawk.
thanks,
munk
