I'm going to do some long range six-gunning in the Nevada desert. I'm loading 125 and 158 grain bullets over max loads of Alliant 300-MP. First indications are that this powder blows away even H110/W296.
I'm concerned that the pounding will cause endshake in my Ruger GP100, so I'm considering picking up a used Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in .357.
My question is, what does a prolonged diet of book maximum loads do to a single action Ruger? Do they develop endshake, like a double action revolver? Or can you just shoot them until the forcing cone cracks or erodes away?
Should I skip shooting these, other than occasionally, in a revolver, and just shoot them in my contender?
Thanks,
-John
