These bullets are projectiles only, and are not loaded ammunition. They must be loaded by competent reloaders implementing the utmost caution, and consulting current gun powder loading data, for proper charges, component selection and reloading procedures, paying special attention to primer selection and overall cartridge length. The throats of most all strait walled cartridge chambers are much larger than people think, and projectiles must be fit to the throats rather than to the groove diameter of the barrel itself. Spg lube is used in cases loaded with black powder, pyrodex and black canyon powders, whereas the Blue lubes and thompson lubes are for smokeless use.
Handguns are another subject.
The whole line of ruger handguns, the super blackhawk, blackhawk, redhawk, super redhawk, bisley, vaquero, super single six and all of the standar autoloading pistols shoot our hard cast heat treated bullets extremely well. Go to our bullet selection page. Go to our bullet nomenclature.
