A few months ago, I was shooting with one of buddies. He brought out a Cimarron Schofield. It was the blue, 5” barrel model. I looked it over and I was very impressed with the quality. So much so, I had my regular shop order one for me. It took almost 3 months to get in. The one I received is just as the one my shooting buddy has. It is very well made, tight and locks up tight, the blue looks very deep and metal well polished, the grips have pretty grain and fit the frame really nice. It is a very nice firearm. I am well pleased with it. I have a couple questions I would like people that have experience with the Cimarron Schofield to give me some advice on. First off, I have read the reviews on line. As normal they range from the best firearm ever made to wouldn’t make a good paperweight. What have people that own and shoot them know. Are the decent firearms or not. Second. I load a .45 Colt 250 grain lead bullet over 4.5 grains of tightgroup, book says around 750 FPS. I am sure this would be fine. My other pet load is a 250 grain jacket bullet over 5.7 grains of tightgroup. Book says around 800 FPS for this load. It does fine in my Colt Single actions. I shoot jacket bullets now more than lead because they are a lot easer to clean up behind. Are jacketed bullets of in the Schofield? Manual that came with is said modern ammunition. Some of you that know about the Cimarron Schofield, chime in and tell me what your experience is. If I have to only use lead that will be fine but I rather d sad shoot a jacketed bullet. Nothing hot just a good plinking, maybe d sm
