Question on M92 in 45LC
Are most current makes of the Model 92 strong enough to handle 45 Long Colt loaded to +P pressures?
"Stout" .45 Colt loads
Since Rossi chambers their '92 in .454 C I don't think you should have a problem with +P .45 Colt ammo. The last loads I shot in my older Rossi were 330 gr bullets chronoing 1540 FPS. Roughly equivalent to the old .45-70-405 load.

But they are the folks that market the 454cas guns. Any of the book loads for the Rugers or TC's will not be a problem for any of the steel Puma 92 action.huntnut wrote:I called Legacy about the Puma 92 45lc and the told me the do not recimend shooting +p loads.

I would be so bold as to say, you will probably blow a ruger up before you hurt the 92 action. Think of the amount of metal surrounding the two different chambers.
But, Go easy on the brass frames.
