I've had a Uberti Henry in 44-40 for several years. The rim of the 44-40 case is larger than the .45 Colt and it's my belief it gives more reliable extraction, especially with BP. The tapered, necked case also facilitates feeding the rounds into the chamber. But modern .45 Colt cases are superior to the originals and so the difference in performance is probably very minor.
I don't know why you'd want to use the shorter Schofield round in a Henry, but it should be no problem with some judicious experimenting and may even work as is. But some Schofield rounds are true round nose, DON'T use them in a tubular magazine rifle. Use flat point ammo only.
