I was on another forum and discussing my .45 Xtra Short cartridges. One correspondent told me he could not chamber the Xtra Short in his .45 ACP cylinder. His problem came about in that the ratchet interfered with chambering a rimmed cartridge, and only a .45 ACP round would chamber.
I checked my own two ACP cylinders and found I had .005" clearance between the rim and the ratchet. Then he told me his was a Three Screw Convertible, while mine are both New Model Blackhawks. One of my cylinders was fitted by Ruger as an after market job, not too sure about my second, but both cylinders were stock Rugers.
Just for your information.
