I just bought a used FA .454 and was wondering if it's ok to shoot .45 colts out of it in the .454 cylinder I just don't feel like spending 4-500 bucks for another cylinder if it's not needed.I've read that if you clean the chambers your fine and I've also read to never fire the shorter case in them

Shoot 'em up, clean it up, you'll be fine.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Clean REALLY good, I don't like cleaning them so I just load down in the 454 brass

This is the prefered method, but not sure if the OP rolls his own.
