Not so in a Model 92 which has much stronger locking lugs because of their design. and considering bolt head thrust may be a bit too much for the 94s locking lug mechanism. That cartridge operates at much higher pressures in commercial loadings than the RO loads. The comparison to 454 Casull is not accurate. Even if one considers bolt head thrust (a term you usually hear applied more to T/C Contenders when using them with over factory spec loads), they are easily able to handle RO loads. Ruger loads are generally limited to 32Kpsi, well within the range of 44 Mag pressures and that of rifle cartridges it has been chambered in for over a century. That 300gr XTP with 21.5gr WW296 is a great load, btw. It still shoots around 2" groups at 100 yds with its 2.5x Redfield. I have a Trapper I have been shooting my Ruger only loads in for about 15 years now. The Win 94AE can easily handle "Ruger Only" loads.
