Kerry, yes, the Bond Rowdy will handle SAAMI specification loads. Any factory ammo made for .45 Colt that is NOT marked to indicate that it is higher than the industry standard (SAAMI) pressures for .45 Colt will work. Have a great day!

Kerry, you sure can. I've read several reviews of people shooting 250 grain projectiles out of their bond arms rowdy. So you're good to go. Hope this helps.

Hi Kerry, yes it can. Bond Arms warns against using the following : WARNING:
DO NOT carry Bond Handguns "Cocked & Locked". DO NOT chamber or fire .454 Casull, .45 +P, .45 Corbon, Oversized .45 Copper only projectiles, or reloaded ammo. DO NOT use Herter's Brand 357 Mag ammo. DO NOT place your fingers along either side or in front of the barrel when firing. ALWAYS inspect the barrel for obstructions before loading and firing. Cheers and stay safe!
