I have a Winchester 94 and a Ruger Vaquero in .45. The Ruger loads bulged in the web area when fired through the Winchester. Apparently the Winchesters have a reputation for oversized chambers. I didn't have any problems with merely warm Colt loads, it was the 300gr JSP at 1200 fps that were iffy.

My buddies Rossi Puma m-92 clone does much better and is a bit more classy to boot.

YMMV
