I've long heard that 45ACP power levels can be boosted safety in this modern gun, and as it happens, I also recently bought a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in 45ACP/45 Long Colt, so I have two VERY strong platforms to experiment with when it comes to launching 45ACP boolits.
Anyone else experimented with hot 45 Auto Rim loads? I'm thinking with new brass I can safely approach 24-26,000 PSI loads, possibly even higher, in a pair of guns designed to take a lot more pressure than that.
What say the form folk? Any daredevils here? ;-)

I'm not sure what you call "hot" but I do have one 45 AR load I use in my S&W 1917 that runs a 255 gr. cast SWC 925 fps.
