I would assume the Scofield load would be a 200gr bullet. That would likely be higher pressure to blow it out of the gun even with 20grs powder. Also a bigger slug is gonna have more resistance due to its weight and larger bearing surface thus putting more stress on the gun to pull the arbor out of the frame when being pushed down the barrel. A crimped in harder bullet alloy would also add to the stress on the gun when fired. It may not be that much of a difference but I'd expect a steady diet of Scofield loads would stretch the gun out faster than just the dead soft 142gr balls.
