I have some 45 Colt blank ammo loaded with smokeless powder for my Ruger Vaquero. I also have a 1860 Army Colt reproduction with a cartridge cylinder. The cartridge cylinder came with a warning to use black powder ammo only. That makes sense if you're firing real bullets, but how about blanks? Will that cartridge cylinder hold up with smokeless powder blanks?
