Can I do it? I ran a few through the sizing die and it looks good. I got the Idea because you can make 400 cor-bon brass from .45ACP just by running it through the sizing die. the stuff I made did end up 15 thousandths shorter than the factory brass I am reloading

for the 400 corbon, the conversion kit and dies are going to cost you more than the barrel.. if .40 bullets are 1 cent less than .45 bullets, it will only take you 20,000 rounds to break even

Appartently there is a whole book on wildcatting rounds. Like making .300 whisper cases from a .223.
http://www.realguns.com/archives/001.htm Probably* why people have frequently and successfully used necked down .40 S&W brass to make* .357 SIG cases, even though the .40 S&W is over .020" shorter |

thank you for the good info...especially the link. I'm a cheep basterd so.. I will probably give it a go. I am probably going to have to get jacked FN bullets, I don't think lead is going to work out all that well because I am seeing some really HOT loads for this round... upwards of twice what I am loading my 185 grain .45ACP rounds with (4.1 bullseye)
