How about a 444 shortened to meet some states’ requirements.
I've done the same with a 45-70. It's a PITA! The brass thickens as it gets closer to the head and makes neck/wall turning necessary.
444 shortened?
I’d think that a neck trimmer would take care of the 45-70 shortened issue.
Sorry, I just don't see the juice being worth the squeeze. I imagine the 444 would require the same tedious case prep. I would also imagine feeding in a levergun would be complicated by shortened cases. My 45 Colt Marlin wouldn't feed 45 Cowboy brass. I trimmed 45-70 brass down for a single shot rifle.
