Howdy Alex,

I'm not sure of the dimensions of a Cimmaron Open Top,but the cylinder on a .45 Schofield may not be long enough to accomodate .45 Colt loads even if the chambers are modified.

Ned,

Depending on the rifle,using Schofields will indeed allow you to put more cartridges in the magazine tube of a .45 Colt rifle.

Bellicose Bill
