CAN YOU LOAD A HP BULLET IN A 45 SCHOFIELD BRASS? I FIND NO DATA ON HP JUST LEAD CAST BULLETS. I'M SHOOTING OUT OF A SMITH 460 8 3/8" BARREL AND A SMITH 25-5. TKS TOM

for sure you can load any type of bullets in the Schofield brass. It's just a shorter version of the 45 colt. I would start with a bit lower load compared to the equivalent weight in lead bullet but should be any reason it won't work and shoot fine.
I've loaded a lot of Schofield and it's pretty straightforward. Similar to the 38 special and 357 magnum, just a bit longer case (technically there's a slight difference in the rim). Mostly used by cowboy action shooters for reduced loads and being able to have a bit more case volume filled for light loads.
what bullets are you shooting and what's your goals (plinking loads or hunting)?
