True Dat...and Ive heard the same thing on the 5-way blanks...
OK, so what exactly is a 5-way blank?
It is/was the common Hollywood blank cartridge used in westerns. Filled with black or smokeless powder but with no projectile. It could be used in guns chambered for 45 Colt, 44-40, or 38-40. The "Five" referred to its being able to be utilized in Winchesters chambered for the 44-40 or 38-40 or Colt SAA's chambered in the same or for 45 Colt. There were no originally-chambered 45 Colt Winchesters back when the blanks originated.
