I have been asked to include the Ransom Rest in more video's for accuracy testing. So what better pistol to test with then the Lipsey's Exclusive Ruger Blackhawk 10MM Conversion in 10MM & 40S&W. Today I used three different loads to test with 200gr, 175grSWC and 135gr Nosler JHP.

The Ransom Rest is a great device for accuracy testing like what I have conducted in this video, but I use it to make me a better reloader.

Stay tuned for the next video as we compare 10MM velocity from the Ruger Blackhawk against other pistols with different barrel lengths.

I am still in amazement with how soft shooting the beefy blackhawk really is in 10MM.

That is some good accuracy.

 

[mr.revolverguy]

I believe it could be better if I had a much more stable platform to clamp the rest to.

Nice video.

Did you get a chance to do the chronograph tests you mentioned?

Enjoyed seeing how accurate it is. Played any with the .40 S&W cylinder yet?

 

[mr.revolverguy]

I have not played with the 40S&W cylinder yet.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

Excellent video. Thanks for doing that.

I have a question for the OP.

Using 135 gr bullets...I remember very well the issues of shooting short bullets in high intensity cartridges in revolvers. Is this not an issue with the 10mm?
