I have a Marlin 1894SS that is a great shooter but I wish it had a little more horsepower.
Has anyone seen or heard of an 1894 being rechambered to 445 Supermag?
Is the action strong enough?
Can the action feed a COAL of 2.2" or more?

Loaded rounds couldn't be ejected since 2.2 inches won't fit through the ejection port. I doubt you could cut the cartridge stop back far enough to get it to feed from the mag tube either.
ETA: Here's a picture of the cartridge stop from my post on modifying the 1894 for a longer COAL. You'd have to cut the cartridge stop back at least .6 to get a round to clear the mag tube:

Mikey-
Sounds like you need a 450 Marlin!
