200gr Cor-Bon 45 colt pressure?

**Lucas** · May 28th, 2008, 07:21 PM

Anyone happen to know what pressures that Cor-Bon 200gr +p in .45 colt produce? I've tried to email Dakota Ammo numerous times, with no response. I ended up with a box of these somehow and something tells me not to try them in my new model vaquero.

I have loading data for a low pressure (safe for a "new" model) load that pushes a 200 gr pill at similar velocities, but reloading data and factory loads are two completely different things.

Looks like I might have to buy a Blackhawk, just to use this ammo. What a shame. LOL!

I'd avoid them in the new model Vaquero.

Its built on specs closer to the original Colt. With today's metallurgy, I'm sure it'll handle more than the original - but the new Vaquero isn't built as strong as the old model, blackhawks, or Freedom Arms.

Chuck Hawks generally knows his stuff...

That was pretty much my thought. Guess I'll have to buy a new gun to get rid of this box of ammo, damn!

Not that I'm looking for excuses or anything.

Lucas,

We do not recommend using any of our +P 45 Colt ammo in the newer Vaquero's with the thin top strap. Those guns are made for the older standard pressure 45 Colt loads.
