convert a ruger blackhawk?
« on: March 29, 2004, 06:50:20 PM »
Dose anyone know if a blackhawk or GP-100 .357 can have a cylinder made to use the .360 DW in? I am useing this round in my NEF .357 and it is working out to be a real shooter. I would like to have a revolver as a mate to it but I can't swing a DW, I already own the rugers. Thanks 8)

Not sure what the overall length of the 360 DW is, but you can compare it to the length of the cylinders on the Rugers. If it's shorter than the cylinder it shouldn't be any problem to lengthen the Ruger's chamber. Shouldn't have to make a new cylinder.
