Ruger Durability

[Lee Martin]

A testament to Ruger durability – after 6 years of shooting, my .500 Maximum reached 4,000 rounds today. Short of a few hundred 440’s, the dose has been 525’s at 1,300 or 585’s at 1,260. The latter is now loaded on 1.55” brass.



Still tight, still deadly accurate.

What "work" has been performed on that piece?

They are very tough sixguns.

Lee,
That may be as much a testament to your durability as Ruger's. :D

Beautiful work.

Best Regards,

"Some people just cannot get enough recoil in their lives" 525gr and 585gr projectiles at over 1250fps, OOOORAH !

Well, I think this is what Ruger is known for, and why we love them. :D

I think that's the same Recipe John Taffin used to create his wrist problems. :) I have no idea the gun will hold up, it's the shooter. Most of the knuckles in my hand has arthritis already. More in my right (shooting) hand than my left support hand.
