A buffy loaned me his conversion cylinder to try in my 5 1/2" '58 and he was shooting .45 Scofields thru it.
My revolver printed dead-on @ 7 yards and cut a beauty of a cloverleafed group of the SScofields from my revolver!
I think that if I ever get a conversion kit, this is "The" load for my revolver!
I have so much fun with the C&B set-up though that I just can't justify buying the conversion cylinder. Using round balls and BP or Pyrodex the short '58, shoots just as well!
If there was just some way to get my fumble fingers to handle the Caps faster...
