I guess if you want to be stupid and reload ammo that is unsafe we can't talk you out of it. Go ahead, do whatever.

Does anybody know what the throats would be on a .45 ACP cylinder?

The reason I ask is because my 3rd Gen Colt's regular .45 Colt cylinder has .455 - .456" diameter throats.  If the .45 ACP has .451 - .452" throats I bet the Cowboy Special could be a tack driver.

B.R.S. 

I'm sorry, but some of your "Devils Advocate" argumentative bent is . . . . dumb.  You as WHY did Winchester do things sufficiently in the past, there is no one still living who could authoritatively answer that question.

You also ask "So What is True and what is Myth.  Have you really chosen to ignore the FACT there have been Magazine Detonations??  Do you really choose to ignore there CAN be Magazine detonations??

Or are you just determined to play the part of a TROLL??

First off I do like discussing with you and I agree with you on most topics.   But I am not dumb.  I have been tested many times.  My comments are not dumb people just do not look at all aspects of the WHYS.

Next you did not completely read both of my postings. My line 6 in the last posting --- "And Yes, I have read where people have had Detonations but never have seen full investigation or reports as to the WHYS.  So many other possibilities with reloading.  Yes to me, Flat Nose Bullets are the Safest Option and should be the Default for people that do not understand design shapes and terms."  My comment is those that just jump to flat bullet shape 'or' you will have 'detonation', are just using the Safety 1st mentality and not looking for the real reasons.  My comment about the original Winchester 1894 design bullet is proof of this.  The Sear catalog 1897 & 1902 list a full round nose Metal Patch bullet as the 30WCF only cartridge.

My Asking for comments about old and newer bullets, lay out as this --- Winchester flat nose 1860 to 1895 = 35 years +.  Then the 1894 to 1956 = 62 years -- only Full Radius Round nose design in the 30WCF (Win & Ideal/Lyman molds).

You know that during that 62yr there where a lot of gun writers and catalog articles, being done.  Don't use the No Info exists.  My point, how many detonations were written about during that 62 years that we have suddenly gone to -- ABSOLUTE FLAT NEEDED.

Was it just a hunting change and not a detonation issue in tubular magazines, all the time?

Thanks
