The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

I second that, after trying every brand of #11's as the owner's manual recommended, and finally trying 10's and never going back....
Rob & Pato,
Tell ‘em! Experience speaks. Rem10’s and TRESO’s make any other setup pretty much wrong. The only exception is SlixShot. It’s kind of like Swiss. Lots of other stuff will go bang, though, if that’s their interest.
Edo.

Question, I have some 200gr .454" laser-cast RNFP for my .45 long Colt. Will they work in this bad boy? Also have some 255gr .454" SWC from laser-cast. I did make the mistake of buying .454" round ball the first time, whoops...

It couldn’t hurt to try them. I’d single load for a few, and then double to see if they may back out under recoil or some such. How hard is the alloy?
 
Btw, I’m anxiously awaiting my third ticket into the club. I just picked up a mint unfired stainless fixed sight version. Can’t wait to take it for a spin!
 
Welcome Mustang 51! Yes you can use the 454 bullets, you may have to knurl them to get a tight fit in the ROA chambers. It's real easy, just take 2 coarse crosscut files, lay one on your table or bench, place a bullet on the file and roll it back a d forth with the other file. This will expand the bullet by about 3 to 4 thousandths. Try it, it works.
 
Hi everyone ! One quick question here, perhaps I'll find someone who can help me. Does anyone know how to contact anyone, yes anyone, at the RCA. "Ruger Collectors Association" ......yep, their Email, physical address, or phone number........... Believe me, I have tried to no avail. Yet they seem to be active at some gun shows.Their website seems to only want you to sign up and pay for membership dues........... No contact information.....anywhere !!

The RCA has a forum that includes the following sub-forum:

"Questions about the RCA or a Ruger you own
This forum available to non-RCA members to ask questions about the Ruger Collectors Association or a Ruger Firearm that you own."--->>> http://www.rugercollectorsassociation.com/forums/

The website also lists the name of the officers.

When I clicked on the newest journal, Journal: Vol. 30, February 2015, No. 1. it provides this return address for an RCA mailing from that time:

Ruger Collector's Association
P.O. Box 240
Green Farms, CT 06838

06038 is a Postal Zip Code located in the town of Westport, Connecticut.
Green Farms must be a sub-section of the town of Westport.
