Notes on Cartridges listed in the table above: .357 Mag. is 357 Magnum; .38 SPL

called .45 Long Colt; .45 Auto is .45 Automatic and is also called .45 ACP; .44

Notes on the .32-20/.32 Magnum Convertible (this model is no longer in
production): The .32-20/.32 magnum revolver is supplied with one .32-20
cylinder and one .32 H&R magnum cylinder. The .32-20 cylinder can fire all
.32-20 factory loaded cartridges, both regular and high speed. No other .32
caliber cartridge should be used in this cylinder, as split cases can result in hot
powder gasses escaping rearward under very high velocity. The .32 H&R Magnum
cylinder can fire all factory loaded .32 S&W and .32 S&W long cartridges. The
use of other than .32 H&R Magnum cartridges may, in some loadings, result in
unsatisfactory accuracy.
Notes on the .38-40/10mm Blackhawk Convertible (this model is no longer in
production): Ruger New Model Convertible revolvers using the cylinder
chambered for the .38-40 cartridge can use all factory loadings of this
ammunition both regular and high speed. Do not use any other ammunition in
the .38-40 cylinder. Revolvers using the cylinder chambered for the 10mm pistol
cartridge can use all factory loadings of this ammunition both regular and high
speed. Do not use any other ammunition in the 10mm cylinder.
