Anyone else done a 45ACP moonclip conversion on their 45LC?

Just don't be tempted to shoot .45 Winchester Magnum rounds through this type of conversion.

25-5 update

Hey-I'm in the middle of having a 25-5 8 3/8 worked on by pinnacle high performance, who was recomended by a couple of folks on this forum. Mark-the sole owner and opperater at Pinnacle does a lot of this kind of work, and maintains that both of these rounds function well after his work. I am primarily interested in shooting ACP's out of a long barrel. I have used 255 gr lead SWC's in my 625-8 and my 25-2 with very favorable results. They are, after all, the same diameter-.452, and they seem to handle a fairly heavy charge very well. The gun is at Pinnacle now, and probably will be for a while because it is a one man show. I plan to post my results and some photos when I get it back and have shot it, because I really actually launched this project on this sight. You can email me if I can help at [email protected]. take care, flapjack

I have had the gun back from Pinnacle for some time now, and have arrived at what is the ideal solution for me. A member here suggested that I try 45 Winchester Magnum brass in the moon clips in my gun, loaded to the 45 Colt level. This brass is only an eighth on an inch shorter than the Colt brass, and resembles a very long 45 ACP. Works great-good power and accuracy, and with no more hung up brass when trying to eject the Colt cases from my 25-5. Flapjack.
