[QUOTE="Chas, post: 825354, member: 3468"] If I remember correctly 45 colt barrells prior to WW2 had a groove diameter of .454 and those after are .451-.452. The 45 auto rim's cartridge rim is .030 to .040 thicker than the 45 colt or 454casull 's rim. If you managed to close the cylinder (which I doubt) it would probally bind trying to rotate. There are also some case difference's that I think would play havoc with chamber pressures and such. The short answer would be: I wouldn't shoot 45 auto rim in anything but a revolver designed for 45acp with moon clips or 45 auto rim. [/QUOTE]
