I was messing around today with a 7x57ai case and had some powder coated 44 bullets close by, got curious and cut the top off an Ackley case just were the shoulder started. Turns out the .430 fits perfect. Case has about .015 of taper from base to mouth. Case length is 1.790 so the state's with the straight wall restrictions may like it.
The overall length is about 2.225 and it fits in a ar-15 pretty well and even seems to feed out of the mag good. I'm sure someone came up with the same case but this one is mine lol
So what should I call it, I'll see what the H20 capacity is if anyone is interested.
Again sorry for the crap pictures, but gives you an idea. Top pic it's in a 10 round g3 pmag, the original 7x57ai case is on top and a 45/70 to compare.
