Cartridges were loaded with 45 grains (2.9 g) of black powder, and were also available as .56-52, .56-50, [15] and a wildcat .56-46, a necked down version of the original .56-56. Lugs indicates that the .50 calibre was the standard issue rifle, with a reduced diameter bullet to reduce the recoil and the risk of accidental magazine explosions. [15]
The first 56 is the diameter of the case at the base .56 inches (14.2 mm), measured just past the rim, and the second 56 is the diameter at the case mouth, also 0.56 in (14 mm). Later versions of the cartridge included the .56-52, .56-50, [ 2 ] and .56-46, which had varying degrees of taper in the cases, to accommodate smaller diameter bullets.

In 1872, Spencer (variant Spenser) [1] established a store at the site of the present Rhea creek bridge in Ruggs on the Heppner-Hardman road.
