Ok, I measured the cylinder throats and they are .448" and the barrel is .448". Should I be shooting .451 or .452" bullets? I've put a couple hundred rounds of .452" factory loads through it and it seems to shoot fine. It is dirtier than I would have expected but it works. The spent cases are...

Guys, I am getting a new (to me) stainless Ruger Blackhawk with 7 1/2" barrel. This is a full size frame, not the Lipsey's mid-size frame flat top. I want to load around 800-1000 rds of 250gr moving around 800-900fps and then 200 rds of 250-300gr moving around 1100-1200fps. I have got...

Thanks guys. Craig, thanks for the input. I will mostly be shooting the standard/lighter loads so I am not overly concerned with the heavy stuff. I found a Ruger NMBH in stainless and it should be here in a week or less. It has the 7 1/2" barrel. I am excited to try different loads in it.

Clem, After as much shooting as you've done, what is your opinion of the Bisley vs the regular plow handle? Do you think it is more comfortable to shoot? What made you want to convert one of your NMBH's to a Bisley? I have a Colt SAA in .357 that I like the looks, balance and feel. That's...

Clem, Wow! You have exactly what I have been looking for. That is the first one I've seen. It sounds like I am in the same boat. You said you now have a coupleof these? Did you have another one made as well? Your 45ACP cylinder had to be fitted at the factory? I was wondering if that was...

I've debated over the Bisley but it still looks a little goofy to me. I've played with a 7 1/2" barrel 44 and I like it. I think I am decided on a 7 1/2" 45 if I can find one. Again, they don't seem to surface very often. If anyone knows of any, please give me a heads up. I don't plan on...

I have to admit I have not even shot the Bisley's simply because I think they look a bit 'off'. I should probably go shoot one before judging it for it's 'saggy' posture. I almost bought a Bisley simply because I couldn't find a 5 1/2" stainless in the old style handle, but it still isn't the...

I've seen a couple 7 1/2" barrel stainless Blackhawks in the full size 45. If I bought one of these, would a 45 ACP cylinder from a convertible gun fit or do the convertible cylinders only fit convertible guns? Not a big deal if not, but if possible, I will keep my eyes out for a 45 ACP cylinder.

Maybe the answer is to find a 7.5" barrel and have it taken down. I am surprised that is my only option. For a popular manufacturer and popular cartridge, I thought a stainless model would be easier to come by.

Thanks. I am debating going with the smaller framed flat top because I can't find a 45lc in the larger in a 5/5" barrel. If anyone knows of any out there, I would appreciate your help. I don't plan on shooting the super-stinky loads very much but I figured if I am going to buy a Blackhawk, I...

Guys- I am looking at a 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk. I would prefer the 5.5" barrel in stainless but can only find that in the Bisley, of which I am not a fan. It looks like the New Model w the western/traditional grip is hard to find, but the 5.5" barrel seems impossible. Does this exist? 45...
