Had one of these a few years back and had plenty of problems. Have several other Ruger convertibles and had no issues with them.
What I found was that EVERY aspect of that reloaded shell must be perfect. Got a Wilson gage and as long as the reloaded shell fell withing the limits of the Wilson gage it would work and the gun would properly function. This was all diameters, length, a perfect crimp, everything. Even found that some bullet designs, I think because of crimping groove dimensions, would not work.
Now this is the kind of ammunition we are supposest to be making all the time and I think most of us do. The 45 ACP has great popularity not only do to it's preformance but also due to the fact there are literally tons of good cheap empty casings out there and what is cheap, we tend to shoot a lot of. These casings have been made by about everyone in the world capable of making casings and some don't tend to let a few thousands get in the way and unless you are shooting a very finely set up and tuned target gun, you never notice these very minor differences. Even a top of the line 1911 clone will digest about anything within reason but for some reason it must be that Ruger, at least in my case, set it up so unless all was absolutely perfect anything and everything could and did go wrong.
It was the only Ruger I ever gladly parted ways with. Too fussy, too much trouble.
Wally,
If your cylinder gap is .009-- thats way too much. Not sure what Ruger reccomends but I think a call into the factory would be in order. Even if you do get 100 percent ignition, that gap will effect accuracy to some degree.
