45 colt

I've seen a few different things on this. Is 45 colt different from 45 long colt? Some sites have those listed in different sections some don't. Also what about 45 Schofield. Any information on this would help.

Thanks,
Shane

    My mom would like to know what a 45 colt used in WW1 would be worth. My dad has passed away and she has no idea.

    My mother has inherited a colt 45 and I'm trying to learn more about it. She's had offers on it and we don't know it's value. It is good condition. On the gun is printed: PAT SEPT 1871 JULY 2 72 JAN 19 75. Serial number 137247. The barrel is 4 3/4 the finish is Colored Case/Blue. Any information on this gun and it's value would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello depending on the make of dies. You may only be able to size about 3/4 of the way down the side of the case but this should not cause a problem .Of course you will have to have the correct shell holder or shell plate if you have a progressive press.thr 45ACP is rimless and the 45 colt is rimmed.

    Darn! I thought I had all the missspelled words out of this unit. I am aware of the case differences. Shellholder etc. Wandering about the expander die and the seating die.

    They should be good for 452 bullets.
    The 45ACP seater may give you minor nose distortion since the ACP seating punch is for RN.
    Try it and see.
