My .455/.476 Webley Gov. Army Model.

Strawhat,

Were I a reloader, that would be a definite option. The Schofield casing is only about .2" longer than a.45 ACP .... but since a friend does my reloading and has all the equipment, I am thinking it would be easier to buy .45 auto rim and load it with Goex cowboy loads
and a 220 gr RNFP ....

WWE;  Will moon clips enable a fit?

Sir Charles,

Moon clips definitely work; the second pic in my previous post was the WEbley locked and loaded and ready with .45 ACP...

But I am thinking that if I bought about a hundred Auto Rin casings and had them built up with Goex 'Cowboy' loads and a 200+ gr RNFP, I would not risk the nickname of lety as much as I would with an accidental loading of a full power .45 ACP round ... LOL

WaddWatson Ellis, I think that even if your Schofield cases were trimmed, they still wouldn't work, the rim is too thin....about the same thickness as .45 colt. It needs that extra thick rim of the AR case to get th right headspace.

Pony Express,

I think the case is just too long ... the brass might be too thin as well, but the brass stants proud of the cylinder and will not allow the bullet to fully seat.... and It cand't be the bullet, 'cause the bullet is a standard .45 cal. And the bullet and case length over all is not longer than the cylinder ... it has to be that the taper of they cylinder does not allow the casing to go all the way in ...
