The only one at all common would the .45 S&W Schofield, the same bullet and case OD, just shorter and with a somewhat larger rim for simultaneous extraction in the S&W Schofield revolver.

P.S. It isn't going to be cheaper like shooting .38 in a .357.

There is the .45 Cowboy but that is a specialty product for shooters who want the big bullet holes without the kick.
