Ran 100 rounds through it today, shoots every bit as accurate as the old Super did, has one chamber that is slightly rougher than the others, and I am going to have to work on the grips, gave me a blister as there is a high spot where the grip material is noticeably higher than the grip frame. I shot 70 rounds of 429421s loaded over H110, HS6, and Unique, and 30 rounds of the Lee 310 RNFPGC over H110, did some experimenting with seating depth, seemed to shoot better with the bullet seated to the top crimp groove. I also ran 50 rounds through my SS 5 1/2" Bisley 45, 30 rounds of 340gr LBT bullets over H110, and 20 rounds of the 45-270SAA (289grs from my alloy) over 9grs of Unique and 13grs of HS6. Fired 25 rounds through the FA 454, all midrange stuff, the 289s over HS6 and the 340 LBTs over HS6, tore up an old 12" stump out at 150 yards, sailed a few of the 310gr Lee bullets through it as well. Ran a few 45/70 rounds through the Marlin 1895GS and Ruger #1, and finished off by shooting the 350gr cast over IMR4198 in the 375 Ruger.
Addendum
I am disappointed with the stocks Ruger is using, the wood to metal fit is awful.
