Cheap things are not good And Good Thing's Are Not Cheap
hey K G how your doing? i followed up on rocky rabb article on the wildcat .41 he gave me really great info on trimming cases with equipment i have and dies, so i'm gonna give it a go. he was very helpful as were you, it's great to have good people that are willing to help and share there knowledge with a stranger at the drop of a hat. i think this world could use a lot more of that! Thanks

Cheap things are not good And Good Thing's Are Not Cheap
Hi there
I found a few posts by Rocky on Castboolit (searched Kword=special, user= "Rocky Raab" ), he had spectacular improvements for sub-1000fps loads with the short case.
This reminded me of how easy it was to find good hot subsonic loads in 38Sp cases compared to the longer 357 ones.
On the other hand, I hardly ever used 44Sp; but I will seat the bullet deeper, with the front band flush with the case. With some designs it comes close to cutting 1/10 in oal... You get better neck tension and you only have to re-set your seating plug.
When you are done with that project, you could look at the 41 Nonte (cut down and grooved 41 brass used in a relined 1911 auto...) or JDJ's 41 Avenger
