I shot a few 300 grain old school XTP through the Vaquero the other day, along with some gas check swcs that drop right at 330. both are doing 1100 to 1150 from 4 5/8 inch barrel Ruger 45 Colts. Those were entirely manageable, one hand or two shooting, using these longer grips.
I've had a hard time keeping new model Ruger Blackhawks and Vaquero's around, simply because I didn't like the damn grips on them. I believe that problem has been solved now.
