.45 Colt load
I have some 230 grn, .452 LRN bullets that I bought for my .45 ACP.
I want to load for a Ruger Vaquero, Old Style, but don't have any bullets for it. The load data in my Speer book does not list a 230 grn LRN but it does have a listing for 230 grn, .45 Cal. Cast bullets but no diameter noted. Can I use the .452 LRN bullets and the load data for the 230 grn cast bullets? My wife wants to shoot her Vaquero and she only has about 1/2 a box of cowboy loads left.

I have a Ruger 45LC/45ACP (2 cylinders). Your Ruger is certainly strong enough to shoot any reasonable load through it. The only thing I have ever found was that the RN with little bearing surface don't shoot as accuratly in mine as Keith type slugs.
