Howdy WildMan and Hoof Hearted,
Wildman I agree with you about the 45 Colt in the conversion. The manufacturer that designed it does too. The 45 Colt is fine if the designer says so. It's the uppin of the powder that "may" give problems. Using a longer case after the chambers are milled out some is stretchin it.
If the guns frame hold the pressure then they hold the pressure. If a Pard wants more whomp for the buck then it's fine for him to test it and decide for himself if he wants to stretch the recommended loads.
Hoof,I figure yer an intelligent Hombre and test till yer satisfied. I figure you've tested adequately.
Ifin I saw you fire yer Dragoon with the load you mentioned I bet my eyes would hole back in my head..........you could see my eyes behind my safety shootin glasses.........
when I'd be wanting to take a shot myself.
Anywhooooo.......I'm lookin forward to checking out your web page or whatever it was mentioned.
I like anything that adds more illustrious allure to the cap&baller realm. You put up A-1 pictures and all and make the threads more interesting. The Walker cylinder fit in the Dragoon takes up that awkward space a Dragoon normally has with it's shorter cylinder. Makes the Dragoon look better aesthetically.
Did you have any problems with the hand and the ratchet index on the rear of the Walker cylinder.
