In fact right in the manual Ruger states that you can't overload it.... Hard to believe they'd say that.... I had a first production run Old Army but collectors finally pried it from my hands... Now I have one of the new stainless models. I suggest you never shoot anything but Triple Seven in it and you can clean it in 5 minutes with WD-40 rather than an hour with soap and water. As far as I can tell Triple Seven won't harm a firearm any more than modern smokeless powders and the folks at Hodgdon seem to agree. * EDIT * I just realized that someone might think that I mean you can load an Old Army with modern smokeless powders... YOU CAN'T!!! I'm talking about corrosion and rust! $bob$ Last edited by LDHunter; 09/12/2005 8:55 AM.
