The .56-52, made by Spencer, and the .56-50, made by Springfield, differed only in the degree of crimp, with the .56-50 having a greater crimp; both fired 350-grain (23 g) .512-inch (13.0 mm) bullets. The .56-46 fired a 320-grain (21 g) - 330-grain (21 g) .465-inch (11.8 mm) bullet. [1] The Spencer rifle used a tubular magazine. To control the ...
