Will 45 Schofield brass fit a 45ACP Ruger Vaquero when shortened to the proper length?

.45 Cowboy Special will.

And I use Fiocchi .380 Rimmed Short (9x17R Corto) in my 9mm Blackhawk cylinder.

Yeah but that Cowboy Short is mighty pricey and I'm a cheap skate. Someone has some Schofield for sale so I was wondering. I thought I remember someone saying some Colt would fit but the rims might be too thick but Schofield was a little thinner plus it's not near as much to trim.
too many things

I may be wrong but don't the cowboy have a large flash hole? that would let fine powder get in the primer. Black powder dont
