Is a beefier stronger gun than S&W model 29. Buffalo Bore rates it for their +p+ .44 magnum.
I have loaded Ruger T/C loads in my Super Blackhawk

But it's a MAGNUM! :evil:contender said:I load my guns for accuracy,,, not to see how hot I can go. Almost all the time,, I find a medium load to be the most accurate.

Put that is your pipe and smoke it for a while.
And so it goes...

The problem with Smiths isn't the cylinder (or the barrel, for that matter) it's everything else. They tend to shoot loose before a Ruger would with similar loads.
ASK Buffalo Bore !! ALSO be damned sure to ask where they got a SAAMI Specification for any---ANY---so called +P+ 44MAG pressure level. THAT is in itself is pure USDA prime horseshiq !!!Doug.38PR said:WIL TERRY said:NOTE THIS: In the late fifties H.P.

Why then does Buffalo Bore not rate the M29 for their +P+? In fact they threaten to discontinue if peoplr fo not heed their warnings and only use them in guns rated for said load.
A five-shot cylinder isn't necessary and won't gain you anything with a Ruger .44Mag. An oversized six-shot is all the strength you can use.Hondo44 said:Yes it is, but no more than the standard Blackhawk when chambered in 44 mag.
A 5 shot cyl is the strongest. An uneven # of chambers causes the cyl nothes to be between chambers instead of directly centered on chambers. The next step is to enlarge the cyl window and use a larger diameter 5 shot cyl.
