.45 Schofield

It is my understanding that the .45 Schofield can be fired in 454 chambers just as the .45 Colt can be. ANy comments?--Counsel (talk) 22:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The .45 Schofield article says that it can usually be fired in .45 Colt chambers. There may be a unacceptable difference in rim thickness. YMMV. Safety first, always. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 22:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Specs & Parts

The statement that ...The new Casull round uses a small rifle primer rather than a pistol primer, because it develops extremely high chamber pressures of over 60,000 CUP (copper units of pressure) (410 MPa), and has a significantly stronger cup than a pistol primer.... seems to imply that the Casull round uses a small rifle primer because it has ... features of that part. The sentance should be changed to reflect the need, rather than the use because it has. Change has to read needs or requires. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 22:58, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the section does not correctly represent the differences between the SPP and SRP, as described accurately by this engineer with the Sierra Bullet Company: https://www.sierrabullets.com/primer-substitutions/ I think that it is not important in THIS article to go beyond stating that the 454 Casull cartridge is designed to use an SRP.

-I bought my .454 SA Casull in 2004, to join international big-bore contests. It is an Uberti-manufactured version of the much more reliable and expensive Freedom Arms-gun. I was warned to really be careful with this load; my old time friend, the great & late gun specialist Jan Forsslund, told me to just go with the recoil, instead of trying to master it. When I fired the first round I knew why. The recoil is for real. Shooting a standard .44 Magnum is not even close to this. I stronly advise new Casull-shooters to wear the best of ear protection, gloves and good eyeglasses. Stand firm and keep the gun in a steady grip. When you fire, let the gun rise, and your arms go with it, loose at the elbows. Maintain your grip. These are just basic instructions, and there are more powerful handguns than the .454 Casull. Still, this is good advice, because I have seen several injuries caused by the back of the hammer hitting the shooters forehead, and that is not to be taken lightly. (Yes, it has happened to me too!) But once you become friends, your Casull will be a very fun and actually pleasant gun to shoot with. Even with my low-budget version, that has fixed sights and is manufactured in the Colt 1873 SAA-fashion, but reinforced, I can get very good results in long range shooting. It works fine. And everybody wants to try it, so you must have some extra ammo when you are at the range. If you are interested in silhouette-shooting, this might be the gun for you. Strong and with a heck of a recoil, but somewhere in between the .44 Magnum and X-tra heavy revolvers like the .500 S&W.
-Helpful hint: in a .460, you can shoot .45 LC, .454 Casull and .460. I will surely get me one of those.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hansgbruggener|Hansgbruggener]] ([[User talk:Hansgbruggener|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hansgbruggener|contribs]]) 01:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
