I would like to see Ruger chamber the LCR in 44 Special. They could go with a unfluted cylinder to increase mass/strength, without adding too much weight. I'd even settle for one in the LCRx.
Anything is possible--but I am also skeptical. If someone has Quickload handy, give Skeeter's Load a look-see......Lyman #429421, 44 Special brass, 7.5 grains of Unique, CCI 300 primer. These clocked 950-975 FPS in a Model 624 x 6.5" I had some years ago. I would be interested in predicted pressure levels.
No data for the Lyman 429421 but with an NOE 255 swc QL shows 17.5 K PSI with 7.5 gr of Unique. Dropping to 6.5 gr gives 13.4 K PSI.
I doubt the 7.5 gr load is going to hurt a modern 44 special revolver.
I avoid the Skeeter load because I don’t want that level of recoil and don’t need the velocity for killing cans and paper.
And would've had a lot less fun.If I only owned the guns I need I would have a lot more money.
Rather have large cylinder throat's than small.
