.45 Colt Henry

[Macon Due]

Howdy all. Just wondering if everyone that has a .45 Colt 1860 Henry [ Uberti] is able to fire .45 Schofield as well? I was curious so I loaded a few dummies into the mag. and it functioned fine. So the next range trip I fired only .45 S&W and it fed perfectly.

  Well Hi there Macon

I just happen to have Three Henry Rifles (use to have four) chambered 45 Colt.  I shoot 45 Schofield in all of them.  Although the really short one, a factory 16 inch barrel trapper, shoots 45 Squirt.  45 Squirt is a Schofield cartridge cut to the same length as the Cowboy 45 Special.  Running a Smith Shop Carrier Block for short cartridges.  I have ZERO problems.

My ,45 Colt Henry did, as long as you used 200 grain bullets.  180s did not feed.  I did a .44 Henry flat duplication load using Schofield brass, 28 grains FFFG, and a 200 grain SPG lubed bullet.  Got 14 in the magazine, too.  Schofield bullets are .451", Henry was .445".
