My best efforts, just for fun

I used a .300 Savage body die (couldn’t find the .250 die) to get a taper, then a .44 Special sizer/seater. Just an old Remington 240 gr. JHP I had laying on the bench. I did the .400 Corbon I necked up to .44 in the middle. The .400 Corbon is far left with an ancient Lyman 170 gr. SWCHP cast.

The taper case is what I wanted to see, very pleasing like a big 9mm Luger. The Corbon approach is likely more reasonable not to confuse with the .45 ACP at a glance. I just wanted to see a .45 ACP necked to hold a .44 revolver bullet.
