Cylinder walls might be papier-mâché if cut that thin. A 35 caliber cartridge based on the 300 GNR would help a bit with the thicker brass and 12 thou smaller case diameter.
On the ballistics, one of these S&W 60-18 with the 5" barrel or a SP101 with the 4.2" barrel could get you close to something useful.

Silly idea: 356 GNR J Magnum Frame or SP101

I like your zeal. But the ballistics are not favorable.
