Reasons that escape me personally. A .45 ACP necked to .410 like the later .400 Cor-bon but a longer neck. All you needed was a barrel and dies to turn your 1911 into a .41 Special semi. But it was dropped. There was another semi auto in .41 also short lived.

If you were going to do it 7.62x39 brass blown straight work fine with a .410” bullet in them. That’s how I make .401 WSL (I know the correct bullets are .406-.408, cast it’s ok). Shortening it that much might necessitate inside neck reaming. I’ve also lathe turned the rims off .41 mag. brass (turning them into semi-rimless for the .401) and long seated lead bullets to perfect effect, so that would work too.
