Should add I could probably get it a little longer if I need a proper trimmer as I could lop the neck and most of the shoulder back and it'll have more length. The way I did that with the grinder took a few mm's back from the shoulder.

Refined it a little more, have a question now. I done another case from a 30-06 and did what I said before and took it back just to the shoulder and got 50mm case length but the 44 projectile I have is kinda hard to put in and am wondering is that due to the case being sized so to speak or do I need to open it a tiny bit and if I was to open it the whole case would fit loose in the chamber but would that matter? heres new pics. the 44 projectile is just sitting there and is next to a .308 for comparison.

Case taper of the 06 case
They both share the same taper
You could blow the 06 case out or run an expanding die thru it,
The taper is probably a good thing tho, for feeding
Why reinvent the 45-70 tho?
What are you headspacing off with no shoulder or rim?
Because I can.
Cut a 308 off at the shoulder and stuff a 44 in it and ill be able to sort you a reamer
Thanks for the offer spanners
.44 Amp is what Im doing now by the looks of things.
Ahhh right. Is it around 40mm long?
