Three Foot Johnson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 If you're planning on shooting it in Cowboy Action, the .56-.50 is the only allowed Spencer caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes, but it's not a Spencer caliber. There were - .56-.56 Spencer .56-.52 Spencer .56-.50 Spencer .56-.46 Spencer There never was a cartridge called the .45 Spencer or .45 Colt Spencer. Repros have been available in .56-.50, .45 Colt, .44-40, and .44 Russian, all of which are legal, while none of the other Spencer cartridges are. Larry Romano may have made them in other calibers.

LQ Jones Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 4 hours ago, Three Foot Johnson said: If you're planning on shooting it in Cowboy Action, the .56-.50 is the only allowed Spencer caliber. p. 41, Shooters Handbook "Certain shooting categories require a specific type of rifle and ammunition to be used. Please see the shooting categories for further information Rifle Calibers - Must be centerfire of at least .32 caliber and not larger than .45 caliber. - Must be in a caliber commonly available in revolvers. Examples include, but are not limited to, .32-20, .32 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .38-40, .44-40, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt. The only allowed exceptions are the .25-20 and .56-50.

Three Foot Johnson Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Correct, the only Spencer cartridge allowed is the .56-.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheatin Charlie Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I do not understand the rules that way. It says to me all common pistol calibers are legal "and" also 25-20 and 56-50 even though they are not pistol calibers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Correct. They are all legal main match rifle cartridges, whether that be in a Marlin, 1866, 1873, Spencer, etc., but the only one of the four Spencer cartridges allowed is the .56-.50. Any of the aforementioned legal main match rifle cartridges would be legal in a Spencer, but the only Spencer cartridge allowed is the .56-50 Spencer. The .56-.56 Spencer, .56-.52 Spencer, and the .56-.46 Spencer are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
