Now I cannot find the links that said .780 either!!!! I coulda sworn it was Starline!! But I cannot find now no matter what I type???

Anyhow these are cut to ACP as it made seating better as well as duplicating data easier in my mind.

I think you have to chalk it up to a good old brain fart, CW. Given what you've been thru over the last few months, you are allowed a brain fart or two. I really thought that it was the same as Schofield and would have argued that point if I was just standing around talking to somebody. When I looked it up, I was truly surprised. I think what surprised me most was that they really just took .45 auto rim, took 0.002 off the OAL, and called it .45 Cowboy Special. I wonder if somebody did this to get credit for creating the caliber. Would not surprise me. 0.002" is meaninless for OAL in something like this.

I looked in the SAAMI specs and the closest I could find in .45 was .45 Glock with a case length of 0.760.
