:I think that a .460 S&W Mag revolver should chamber a .454 Casull, .45 Colt and .45 Schofield. The first three of these cartridges have identical dimensions apart from the case length. However, the Schofield has a slightly wider rim that can cause issues on some guns, but most of the time it is OK. Just to add, the .45 Colt  (which we call Long Colt now) was resized for government contracts giving it a shorter 1.1" case length making it identical to the .45 Schofield apart from the rim (I assume so that the .45 Colt could be used in the shorter chambered Schofields), but commercial rounds maintained the longer case hence the origin of the term "Long Colt".  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 20:55, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Discussion

.45 Schofield?

I read somewhere that, in addition to the .454 Casull and .45 Long Colt, the Model 460 can also chamber the .45 Schofield. Can anyone confirm this? - User: 2wingo
