There are quite a few options for the new 1.8” straight wall case law in Michigan. But my concern is if a chamber is not cut for a 1.8” case and is a standard 45-70 or say .444 marlin how is that different than having a duck plug that allows a 4 shell. I don’t trust our local officer would go along with as long as you don’t have factory ammo on you. I’m playing with a 444 case cut to 1.8 in a H&R to see how well it will work but don’t think I’m legal to hunt with the 444 marlin barrel with the shorter case.
I’m running 223 basic brass at 1.8” using.358 bullets. 2600 FPS with 180 gr. It’s a hammer.
