Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .45 Schofield Ammo for Sale
Can you shoot 45 Schofield in a 45 Colt?
Yes, .45 Schofield will fire in .45 Colt revolvers. The shorter Schofield round chambers and shoots fine, though it leaves a gap in the cylinder. The reverse is not true—.45 Colt is too long for Schofield cylinders. Lever-action feeding may be unreliable depending on the rifle.
Can I legally own a Schofield Revolver today?
Yes, in most U.S. states you can legally own a Schofield revolver. Original antique models and modern replicas from makers like Uberti and Cimarron are widely available. Standard federal and state firearm laws apply. Check your local regulations before purchasing.
What is the difference between a 45 Schofield and a 45 ACP?
.45 Schofield is a shorter revolver cartridge developed for S&W Schofield revolvers, while .45 ACP is a semi-automatic pistol round. Schofield ammo works in .45 Colt revolvers but not vice versa. ACP operates at higher pressure and uses a different case design optimized for autoloaders, not revolvers.
What's better, a navy revolver or a Schofield?
In RDR2, the Navy Revolver hits harder per shot but reloads slowly. The Schofield Revolver is more combat-efficient, needing only 4 shots to kill versus the Navy's 5. For most gunfights, the Schofield wins on practicality. Both are popular picks on our marketplace.
Can a .45 stop a grizzly bear?
A .45 is generally underpowered for grizzly defense. It lacks penetration through thick hide, muscle, and bone. Grizzlies require rifle-caliber stopping power—.30-06, .338 Magnum, or 12-gauge slugs are preferred. While .45 ACP is discussed and used as a bear defense option alongside .44 Mag and 10mm, it remains a suboptimal choice.
