I admire your prudence. I bet you still have all of your fingers, and both eyes. But, yes, your new Flat Top will happily digest "+P" and "+P+" loads all day long without any trouble. Its cylinder is shorter than the full size Blackhawk. I know my own 300 grain loads, meant for my full size Blackhawks, are too long for my New Vaquero. Not sure about the commercial stuff, like Buffalo Bore. I would hope it is.

I appreciate the info. A Ruger tech rep advised that the New Model Flat Tops are stronger except for the 45 Colt and 44. Here is the communication:
Our Firearms are designed to handle all US Industry Standard Ammunition made to SAAMI Spec including +P., except 45 Colt +P & 44 +P. If you have specific questions as to whether a type of ammunition meets SAAMI specs. We recommend you contact an ammo manufacturer.
