Brian Pearce did an excellent piece on the 45LC in a 5.5" Ruger Bisley, stopping at 32,000psi. He was pushing 285 SWC over 1300fps. Having that exact revolver, that load would be more than my current recoil tolerance. I really like a 255-275 at 1100-1200. If I need more power, the SBH gets the nod. Amazing what 3-5 ounces of weight and that wonderful square trigger guard will allow.
