Can Freedom Arms model 97 45colt handle Ruger only loads?

I know the model 83 can but can the model 97?

Pressure wise yes. There is a fairly severe limitation to the OAL (1.6in). Therefore, I would say no to the various longer Ruger loads. *(I'm talking about longer cast bullets).

What he said, cartridge overall length is the limiting factor.

I own one. Beartooth Bullets has a couple made for the M97 IMO.
