Well I went an done it, bought myself a Uberti S&W Schofiled in .45 and 5" barrel. I shoot black powder cartridge in all my other CAS firearms and figured to give this one a go.
So Bushwhacker and myself setup some targets at normal ranges we shoot at our home clubs and went at it. Well 50 rounds later this Schofield was still going strong and might have gone another 50 rounds but the most I've ever normally shot in one day at a match was between 30 or 40 rounds from one revolver.
I prepped the Schofield as I had picked up discussing such with Mr. Strain at the NCOWS Convention this past March. Lube the base pin with bore butter, shoot what the revolver was originally designed for .45 Schofield in a Schofield and .44 Russian in a Russian and keep the loads with in reason. The more powder the more fowling.
The load was what I've been shooting in my Remington conversions FFg Goex in a Schofield case topped with a 170 gr big lube bullet.
So I'm happy with this Schofield, also in shooting the 50 rounds just at steel we only missed two shots. So I think this is a keeper.
