Re: New to me 3.5" Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt

Nice gun!

I have a throat reamer for 45 caliber rifle, bought it new and have used it 3 times. It opens the throat to .459" max. It is from brownell's. If there is interest I could be persuaded to donate it to the sight(free). It requires the removal of the bolt, not the barrel. Easy to do on Marlins, a ...

Re: Win 1886 Throat... how long should it be?

I have the same problem on a Browning 1886. I use a Ballisti-cast 420 gr FNGC most of the time, seated short and crimped with a Lee die. The old Lyman 462560 bullet works well, it is sized to fit the factory throat. Launching 540grs at 1600 fps should do for most animals. The recoil isn't too much.
