He really comes up with stuff. These are informed, primed, .45 cases from CCI. Aluminum, so unsuitable for revolvers -locks them up) but using some tinkering with .40/.41 dies I think I can load my own .45 ACP shot shells. The necking will set the headspace so that’s the main critical adjustment. A card for topping off shot held in check by hot glue will do the trick. You can make them from cut off ‘06 size brass too.

Best as single shot but with a stiff charge and radius mouth you might get them to cycle. It will be fun tinkering. The CCI are unavailable (I’ve seen GB prices of $50/10). I used some in 9mm (blue capsule), .40, and .45 to shoot field rats off the bush hog!

Other things that come to mind are aluminum case .45 Win Mag., .460 Rowland, or .45 GAP for goofs!
