45 Colt using 45 Schofield dies

[Pavia]

Can you use 45 Schofield dies to reload 45 Colt (ala using 38 special to load 357 for example)?

Thank you!

Probably it depends on the die set . I have a Hornady set marked 45 acp or 45 colt but some dies may not have enough adjustment to crimp a shorter case.
If it looks like your crimp die has enough adjustment to it it should work.

I use an old RCBS .45ACP set to load mine, with a Redding crimp die.

I realize I can’t full length size, but if it’s used in the same revolver should not be a problem with case extraction right? Only reason I ask is because of current times I can purchase a Lee 45 Schofield die set but not a 45 Colt die set.

We have to be creative in these times.
