Well, it has been a couple years since I dropped out of CAS shooting. I sold off the guns, and pursued other interest.
Well, I got bit by the bug again, so I bought a pair of Pietta 1858s: One 8" and one 5 1/2". I also ordered a couple Howell's R&D .45 Colt cylinders for them. I could have just picked up a couple SAA or 1875s, but since I will be shooting a 45 Colt 1860 Henry, I like being able to either shoot cap and ball or cartridge conversions.
I have used the conversion cylinders in 1858s in the past, but I can't remember if Black Hills .45 Schofield brass will work in the R & D cylinders. No big deal, but I would like to shoot my .44 Henry flat duplicate loads using .45 Schofield, 200 to 230 grain bullets and 27 grains of FFG.
Anyone know if the .45 Schofields fit the cylinder? Thanks in advance!
