While casting up all of those .375 RBs out of funky alloy I cast up a single Ranch Dog .460 to usa as a BHN test slug (random curiosity over the weird alloy... comes out at 17...
Anyway, on a whim I grabbed a piece of CBC .410 Brass and stuck the CG shank into the mouth... perfect, tight fit.

So... here's the weird thought...
Given a properly reamed out barrel... why COULDN'T you use .410 brass and a GC boolit to make a semi-fixed heeled BP cartridge?
