Nope.  You did not Miss-Understand.  Actual case length of the Cowboy 45 Special and the 45 ACP are the same.  45 ACP head spaces on the case mouth to give the same cylinder/frame head space as a standard rimmed case (NOT 45 AR) and the Cowboy 45 Special head spaces on the rim with the same same chamber depth as the 45 ACP.  Should be able to run them interchangeably.  I DO!!

  NO NO NO NO 

NONE OF THE ABOVE.  I have no capability to load plastic or paper hulls.  So I load/run/shoot ALL BRASS MAGTECH.

Is that a vote of ONE??

   Thanks for the Link. This fellow has very nice photos. These old reloading tools are a lot of fun to use, and actually work
rather well.

I am in the process of selling a Chiappa Spencer Carbine in .56-50.  Someone told buyer the barrels were bored wrong. I think they are confusing them with the Pietta Smith Carbine.  Anyone hear of a problem with Chiappa Spencer barrels, other than maybe needing a little Loc-Tite?

My shot charge may be a little more than 1oz.

When I was using my MEC Grabber AA hulls wouldn’t crimp well. Always had a hole in the center. When I switched to using my 600jr. I got good crimps.
My 600jr is old enough that it has the metal crimp starter and final crimp die.
It will make crimps that look like factory crimps.
