No straight wall case in 40 caliber will handle 454 Casull pressures. Even hot 30-30 loads will bulge the case and those pressures are way below the 70K pressure level the 454 hits.

We need a 40 GNR - Keith, 2022-09-18, 01:05
- 400 GNR in an encore, cut case to 1.8" then load, no problem (nm) - Sean Harper, 2022-09-19, 09:40
  - You would have to work up new loads but I am - Sean Harper, 2022-09-19, 09:50
    - The Starline .38-55 Win. brass, if you can find them - WB, 2022-09-19, 11:07
- .40-50 Sharps Straight is 1.875 inches - Pacecars, 2022-09-19, 02:57
- Something larger than .30-30 would be better - WB, 2022-09-18, 06:13
  - The 30-30/375 Win case is the point - Keith, 2022-09-19, 10:02
    - Yes .414 would be a unperceivable taper - WB, 2022-09-20, 07:39
      - I started to get into this "conversation" but - Gary Reeder, 2022-09-20, 13:33
        True. As much as I love the odd .400 there - WB, 2022-09-21, 14:23
        I've the same feelings about the 454 - AmBraCol, 2022-09-24, 15:16
        I don't think the goal is to get 454 performance - Keith, 2022-09-20, 14:20
- Or you could use the 460S&W case - Blake, 2022-09-18, 04:09
  - No problem. All it takes is 12 to 14 months and $2000 - Gary Reeder, 2022-09-18, 14:42
    - The simplest and cheapest way to go is the 445 Super Mag. - Gary Reeder, 2022-09-18, 14:53
      - 30-30 more common 445, 375 Win close enough to 454 brass (nm) - Keith, 2022-09-19, 10:08
      - The whole spirit of these laws are to open - WB, 2022-09-19, 06:34
