I have used them with differing success for .410 and .44 XL shot cases.

375 Waters Express.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
I had a bunch recently picked up in a garage sale. Some new 444 Marlin and many fire formed for 375 JDJ.
The new ones found a new home quickly.
Good for 356 Win, 307 Win, 308 Marlin, Also made some 8x57 Rimmed with them. Have made long 45 Colt shotshells, but they do bulge as undersize for the 45 Colt. Some have used for 44-40 and 38-40, head is correct rim is close, usually need neck reaming.
I use them for my rifle in .375 JDJ.
Yup, 375 JDJ Pistol here.
I have cut a few to size and run them partway through a .44 mag die to make shotshells for .45 Colt, but haven’t loaded any yet.

358 Bellm.
410 All Brass is my goal.
410 2 3/4"or trim to 2.5" for a judge
Tried them in a 45 Colt/410 Thompson Center barrel as stooopid long 45 colts to get the boolit out to the rifling. They work "ok", nothing to write home about.
Probably not worth the effort but as a conversation piece at the gun club.
309,358 and 375 JDJ calibers. All 14 '' contenders. Also a 444 marlin rifle.

Shorten them for .44 Shot loads that don't need a shot capsule.

I use them for 410 shells but there is no reforming them, they work great just as they are.
I recently was playing around on the bench and ran a .44 Mag and a .444 Marlin case into a .357 Auto Mag trim die, I don't have a .357 AM barrel for my Auto mags but bought the form dies years ago incase I ever found one. I think the .357/.44 rem mag case would be a fun round in a Contender.

I just started using them for 375 JDJ as well. Pretty easy process I must add.
