Thank you Sir.

I know the regular (non-"New") Vaqueros have longer cylinders. There are .45 cartridges that will not physically fit in the cylinder of my New Vaquero. And so...I wonder if i can assume that any store-bought cartridge I can find is 'good to go' in my New Vaquero. Answer that, or just steer me to where I can find reliable data regarding pressures, both for loads and for the New Vaquero.

Regarding Winchester lever guns, I know the 1892 is designed for pistol loads and others are set up for actual rifle loads. But I wonder if the stoutest .45 Colt pistol loads would be 'good enough.' I don't plan to take down elephants at 600 yards but I wonder if an 1892 would summarily dispatch any North American game animal at open sight distances.
