It is straight sided to the small shoulder, so no inline mag feeding issues as could manifest with a tapered case. Also it might be easy to mistake a tapered case for a regular .45 ACP.

Since these modern necked semi-auto cases headspaced on the case mouth and NOT the shoulder it's small size is of limited concern. I would petition for a necked length at least as long as the bearing surface on a Serria 180 gr. JHC (fantastic bullet). Might as well have as much neck tension as is reasonable. You don't need or would gain much capacity by keeping it minimal.

It's great fun to armchair quarterback.
