Though, for anyone who wants to get closer, starting with thicker, stronger 375 Win or 225 Win brass would help contain higher PSI than 30-30 brass could withstand, though still not to the level of 454 pressure (or powder capacity).
The real purpose is exploring other uses for 30-30 brass blown straight: first, shortening 400 GNR to fit within the 1.80" case-length limitation, second, going further to 1.61" case length to fit within the cylinder of a stretch frame, and third, going to 1.383" or 1.29" case length to fit within the cylinder of a conventional revolver.

Something larger than .30-30 would be better

The 30-30/375 Win case is the point

Yes .414 would be a unperceivable taper

True. As much as I love the odd .400 there

No problem. All it takes is 12 to 14 months and $2000

The simplest and cheapest way to go is the 445 Super Mag.

- 30-30 more common 445, 375 Win close enough to 454 brass (nm) - Keith, 2022-09-19, 10:08
