So the other day i am in the local gun store and i spot an Uberti 45 colt Schofield revolver, I have long had my eye out for one and while i was looking at it my wife says is it a good price and i says yes then she says go ahead get it. Enough said it is now down in the gun room.
So i have quite a bit loaded in this cal. for my Black hawk and i figured i could shoot the same in the Uberti, but no. Turns out that when i chamber the rounds that i had loaded up they are too long for the Uberti. Only a smidgen but enough that they won't allow free movement of the cylinder. The quick measurement puts the BH at 1.700 and the Uberti at 1.55 and yes it is stamped 45 Colt.
So here is the question do you load all the the rounds for a specific caliber to fit the shortest OAl so that any round can be fired in any gun or do you load for specific guns and mark the ammo box as to which rounds fit which weapons.
I also have this issue with a 32-20 rifle and pistol, the rifle likes them longer than the revolver will chamber.
Third option is to buy some 45 S&W brass and dedicate them to this gun.
