Ruger blackhawk ejector rod

[wbrco]

Regular occurrence with a Blackhawk. Order a new screw and spring and a little blue locktite.

I don't take a ruger single action to the range without a screw driver. Every screw on them will loosen with recoil. I check them at least every 100 rounds.

Me too. I've got a Brownells hollow handled driver with all the needed bits in it. You only notice a loose screw when you're at the range without a proper screwdriver. That's just how my world works. I also have a couple sets of new screws, springs, and pins just in case.

Oh, and have your father be careful with the ejector rod housing as the edges are sharper than any scalpel ever made. I KNOW this.....

Wow I guess I need to buy a few more books. If 15.9 is max with a jacketed 300gr I definitely wouldn't want to shoot with what some of the post I have seen which was up to 20gr in dangerous game country 19gr with a rifle because the bolt gets sticky

Rule #1
Never...I mean never ever...use load data off the net without verifying it in a published printed source. I cross reference with at least 3 different manuals or data taken from a manufacturers load data site. It is just too risky.... it's easy to hit the wrong key, lapse in memory or some person just repeating something , maybe incorrectly, he thought he read on another post.
If I tell you in a 38 special, 2.7 grains of Bullseye under a 148 grain cast WC is a good load....do not believe it unless you check with a loading manual or 3 .
That 17.5 grain load with a 300 grain boolit sounds a bit stout.
Don't start with maximum loads. Start low and work up to them heavy loads....that's rule #2.
Don't blow Daddy up is rule #3.
Load Safe,
Gary

I am bringing this back from the dead

The one book / one caliber 45 Colt manual has several loads in rugger only with 2400 in it. I thought I should pass on for those read this post

Hornady with a 300gr XTP mag range from 16.5 to 18
Sierra with a 300gr jsp range from 13.9 to 18.8 in rugger loads in rifle they go up to 20.4
Speer has 15.8 to 17.5 in there 300gr 4485
And alliant doesn't list any rugger only loads.

This is just an FYI

It's just held on with a screw so it's likely the screw loosened and it fell off during recoil. Many years ago I bought a freedom arms 454 and the first shot out of the box the ejector rod housing went flying!

I would say the ammunition was unlikely the cause of your issue.

After looking at it in person it looked like the previous owner stripped out the hole and filled it in with jb weld. I am not exactly sure how to fix with out tig welding the hole shut and redrilling and tapping.

Give Ruger a call they may just put a new barrel on it for you maybe for free

Rule #1 for ANY new gun = check and blue Locktite ALL screws. Used to wuz EVER'body knew that.

Loose screw. Try different primer than win. Rem2.5 or cci 300 should be better
