But you can always go back to the B/P cylinder if you do the conversion, giving you some options. I use Schofield 230 gr. in my 1860, 250 gr. or Schofieild or B/P in my Remington, and 158gr. wad cutters or B/P in my 1861. I have used the 250gr. Colt in my 1860, but it seems to like the shorter Schofield rounds.
