Yes, long an painful story but... and it's not a Ruger but it'll be one data point.

I set up a Dillon RL-550 and loaded 2000 rounds of lead .45 ACP and screwed up... they would not feed in my 1911 due to being slightly over length. They sat for a decade in an ammo can.

Saw a Pietta 1858 Remmie with .45 ACP cyclinder on GB and bought it, and am slowly shooting up that "bad" ammo with the greatest of smiles. Works great, about the same as my Uberti's with .45 LC cowboy loads.
