I hope this is in the correct forum location. If not please move. I live in Michigan and there is a straight wall rule in part of the state. The maximum case length is 1.800". The 444M case length is 2.225". You probably see where this is going. I am wondering if I cut the case to 1.800" (maybe 1.79" to be safe) and work up the appropriate load, can I shoot this in a CVA single shot chambered in 444M? I am thinking the chamber may build up with powder residue like the 44M/ 44Sp, 357M/38 Sp revolver. Being a brake action it should be easy to clean. Is there something I am missing. I do not want to harm the chamber or blow up the gun(hands, face etc. included). It won't be fired more than 2 - 4 times a year after load work up. What do the experts say?
If this plan goes thru, would you start by reducing the best rifle powder or by increasing the best revolver powder?
Thanks in advance
