Anyone know if a .45 auto rim will fit in a 50 GI magazine?
Playing with the idea of thumb loading 45 AR into my revolver.

Interesting idea.
My gut says no though since I want to say the the .50GI rim is the same as .45ACP.
I think the rim IS the same as .45ACP. However, because the case itself is bigger, I was wondering if the actual magazine was wide enough to accept the AR rim?Quote:

If they are the same side, I'd then be looking at a mag to see how it is dimensioned. At least that is my thoughts after four beers and a heavy dinner. I do hope it helps at least a little.
You might also have problems with the rims crossing over each other in the cartridge stack and binding up.
