    To shoot a 45 colt would need more then re-chamber The bore of a 45colt is .452 a 50 action express is .500 might be a little gas BLOW BY [}:)] You would have to re-barrel and make a new magazine . Sounds like a lot of work for no gain [:(] Semi autos don't normally come in a rimmed cartridge for a good reason magazines are hard to design to feed rimmed cartridges well.
