considering some lever action rifles and another revolver for my collection and as Im looking a lot at the Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC/ACP, I've been looking at a few lever actions from Rossi and Henry etc -- question though - while I know .357 lever actions will load .38 spl, will the ..45 lever actions load .45ACP?
 
No,but they might handle 45 Schofield. That case is about 1/8"shorter than 45 Colt. 45 acp is a rimless round whose rim is .040" smaller the the rim on the 45 Colt. .473 for 45 auto vs .512 for 45 Colt.
 
I do not believe so...


This. However, if you step up and get one of the few lever guns in 454 Casull, they will USUALLY feed 45 Colt as well. Some issues with OAL and shorter rounds, but because they have a full rim, they'll extract. Happy hunting!
 
Want one in 9mm
And 10mm
And 45
And 40

I have a pre remain 1894c in 357. Still one if my favorite guns to shoot

I do not own a single pistol in it, but a rifle in .357SIG is something I have wanted for a while. Have thought of building an AR in it and SBRing it.
 
You could use the Ruger in .45 Colt and pair it with a lever gun in .45 Colt.
I don't recall seeing a lever gun in 45 ACP in a very long time.
 

Nice!
