.45 Colt vs .45 Schofield

ISCS Yoda · Dec 17, 2022

This is probably a dead horse but it's fun to ask without searching through old Forum records.

In a Single Action Army, Colt, any replica, or a Vaquero, are these rounds interchangeable?

Same question but switch to a double action S&W Model 25.

Thanks!

the Colt's longer than the Schofield so you can shoot Schofields
out of the Colt but not vice versa.

Think 38 special (Schofield) and .357 magnum (45 COlt).

Some Schofield replicas are made for .45 Colt so either round can be used. I believe Taylor's & Company is one that sells them.

Shot my ASM Schofield .45colt revolver today [with Schofield loads]at my cas club’s monthly sass/WASA shoot. Also used a 9mm Astra, .45colt Marlin ‘94 Trapper [with Schofield loads] and my Marlin 12 ga Model 24. Shot the match clean. Came in 5 out of 12. Then we had our Christmas lunch. A fun day. You can also use 45CS brass that’s even shorter than Schofield.
