    Welcome to the 'I Farted In The Lift Too' club.

    Such talk is not popular. I can see why.

    Personally I stay with the manufacturer says is safe in their firearms. Yes yours may have held up one time or several but if it fails and you send it in to Ruger I wonder what they will say.......
    Ruger said the ROA could handle 4f powder and I have never gone that beyond 3f myself and see no reason to walk on the wild side as someone just might get the idea to try your experiment in another firearm and have really nasty results.

    I bet firing that thing with smokeless would sure as shootin void the warrantee!

    These kinds of posts are the reason I avoid public shooting ranges.

    I have seen much worse and chose very carefully where I go to shoot for that reason and others too
