Hi,
I've been reading on 45 long colt and noticed that the 45 schofield can be used in revolvers and rifles chambered for 45 long colt. Kind of like 22 long rifle/22 longs or 357/38 special.
So...if I'm using moderate loads in the 45 long colt, does it make sense to just use 45 schoflield brass so I use more of the case volume per load?
Also, if it does make sense, then is there any advantage to using the 45 schofield loads in a model 92 style lever action? Like, could you hold more rounds of schofield versus long colt?
Do most people who reload 45 long colt also have 45 schofield brass and dies?
I haven't purchased a model 92 yet but am looking hard at them, trying to decide on that or a P1840 to use instead of my chunky vaquero.
Thanks for your expertise.
