All .45 Blackhawks are built on the same large frame, New and Old Models. My point is that the large frame Ruger .45's (including Redhawk and Super Redhawks) are the only ones proven safe for use with "Ruger only" loads. Period. End of story.

Back to Kirst conversions.
I believe I already addressed that.

Firstly, no, the Old Army cannot be loaded with "Ruger-only" loads, buy a Blackhawk.
Consider it enough that you can fire SAAMI-spec .45Colt smokeless ammo in your Old Army. To fire ammunition loaded to 32,000psi in a blackpowder gun is foolish in the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do decide to proceed, let us know which hospital to send the flowers to.
