A friend that I hunt with stopped over to pick up the coyote I killed tonight
He is going to skin , flesh and stretch the hide
As he is a lot better and faster than I am and he has the right stretchers
But we got to talking about Ohio Gun Deer hunting and other topics
Well he found a 44 AMP case at the range a few days ago
It had been laying around the range for years IMO
I had never seen that case , so he showed it to me as we talked
But I came up with a idea
So to check , I looked it up and I was right
You can make the 44 AMP cases from 308 Winchester brass with a fair amount of work
But I had a idea and he liked it
Make it a rifle round
Not limited in OAL length to fit in a pistol
But make a round to fit in a rifle , bolt action or Semi Auto like a AR10
That would allow a 2.8" OAL ( about ) rifle round
It would be legal to hunt deer here in Ohio
Lots of 308 Winchester , 7.62 x 51 and other cases that you could use to convert
As we need to use a straight walled or slightly tapered case
A bottle neck isn't allowed
Then I could load a Lee 310 44 Mag cast bullet or some other proper bullet
In a case , to end up with a 2.8" OAL round ( or close to get proper feeding )
This would be longer than the 444 Marlin and allow loading to higher pressures if you wanted to ( safely )
I would like a AR10 upper in this round
As it would allow me to switch uppers and hunt deer using brass and bullets I already have
To many other projects going on right now
But it would be a nice round to add
What are your thoughts ?
