hi and welcome, maybe some more specifics are needed before your question can be answered. is this for a .45 acp or .45 long colt. and what would you like to know. powder types, powder amounts, seating dephts, or any other questions you may have about the process.

Is the revolver a Black Hawk or Vaquero? Is it a new model Vaquero? Are the bullets lead or jacketed? What do you want to do with this load?

You might try asking on the reloading forum too, here on Gunbroker forums.

As has been posted, we need to know what type of Ruger 45 Colt you have. There is a great difference in frame strenth. You need to work up to hot loads, I've used 50 bullets just fine tunning a load. Just because they have maximum velocity doesn't mean they are going to shoot straight.
