Second, anything advertised as a "bear load" is likely pushing the pressure limits and _could_ be loaded beyond what is safe in any firearm.<br /><br />Also, Oregon Trail (makers of Laser Cast and TrueShot bullets) says the reason for many "kabooms" is bullet set-back, _especially in the .40 S&W. If a light crimp allows the bullet to slip back into the case from the recoil of other rounds fired, it can cause a pressure spike high enough to disassemble the gun right there, right now in your hand. They posted this notice with the .40 cal bullets they sell, saying the .40 is especially sensitive to set-back, but I believe they stated it _can_ happen with other calibers, too.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-43619672736836860372016-10-14T13:54:46.210-04:002016-10-14T13:54:46.210-04:00this is not going to help at all. Recently Yanke...this is not going to help at all. Recently Yankee Marshal claimed that Rugers are no stronger than any other modern revolver....just the Ruger chambers a a bit longer, so the "Ruger only" loads were more about OAL than pressure levels.<br /><br />So if you want to bet your wheelie on that, if it chambers it should be safe. At least drop it in the wheel and see if it stays below the forcing cone.Weer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.com
