The only issue you may have is crimping the case. If the Lee dies are short enough you should not have a problem. If you have access to a .45 ACP seating and crimping die it would work. I undstand being away from home and not having your toys at hand.

.45 Colt will work, but y'know Lee does make .45 Schofield dies.

I use a set of Lee.45 auto dies to loas my Schofield rounds. Only has a taper crimp, but that hasn't been a problem so far. I use the 30-40 Krag shell holder.

I forgot about the shell holder. The shell holder for the .44-40 works as well. The 45 Colt will not.

30 - 40 shell holder hmmmm good to know. I did pick up a 44-40 shell holder last night. I live in Houston Texas, but on assignment in Saskatcheuan Canada. I can get supplies, but the selection is limited.
