[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3302506, member: 15527"] Referring only to the break open single shot rifles that I build, whether they be the T/C Contender, T/C Encore, H&R / NEF, Traditions or any other. The 45 Auto Rim and the 45 acp headspace exactly the same, and they eject or extract exactly the same. I set both cartridges to headspace off the case mouth, so either can be used interchangably. Reason being, you can go to most any sporting goods store, or even most Wal-Mart stores and buy factory 45 acp ammo, and it will chamber and headspace perfectly! And if you reload and want something just a little bit different, then with a rim counterbore, you can use 45 AR brass. 1 - both case styles extract exactly the same with no difference whatsoever. 2 - this is a single shot not a revolver, and it requires NO "waxing crescent" moon clips! 3 - see point #1. 1 - the H&R barrel was a 270 Winchester barrel, and I built a new barrel around that one by barrel stubbing, which is a process I have used for over 30 years in making new barrels for the various break open single shot rifles and handguns. 2 - my barrel is chambered for both the 45 Auto Rim and the 45 acp, and both rounds can be used interchangably in this gun. 3 - see pictures below. 4 - as stated many times before - BOTH!
