The Marlins can be made to work with shorter cases through knowledgeable smithing. The 73s need a custom fitted stop in the carrier to limit feeding to single rounds, and then they won't work with 45 Colt lengths.

I have some I don't need
Hit em'hard

I wish that Starline would also offer the Cowboy Special with the heads turned to 0.040 rim thickness and with the case OAL trimmed to 0.087" for the .455 Webley Mk 1, they would sell a bunch of them...
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Star line has it
45 Colt, 45 Schofield, 45 Auto, 45 Auto Rim
Hornady 45 Colt FXT Brass vs 45 Colt Brass
(Pic's I hijacked from the internet like a bad boy, but It was done in the name of science)
I sent Starline an email several months ago asking if they had any plans to introduce .455 MK I or MK II brass but got no reply.
I got an answer from Star-Line about .455 MKI. NO!
I just got rid of all I had
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
