The problem with .45 Colt in a .454 Casull FA is that the lead residue that builds up in the chambers from the .45 Colt can create pressure problems unless it is all cleaned out before firing .454. (If you don't believe me, refer all flames to John Taffin.)

Thanks for the info... That's why I included the following...

Although I'm not 100% sure that's recommended in the Freedom Arms revolvers, due to the extremely tight tolerances (I could be completely wrong, though).
