My conversion book says they can be made from 45 Colt by building up the rim to .090 and inside reaming for the bullet. I wouldn't want to make them unless I had to. Much easier to buy them.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
Why make it when Star-line sells it ($.24 each) fore 500. I know it's backordered but my 45 colt was ordered 3 weeks ago and although backordered the package shows up 4 days later.
500 may be more brass than you need but breaking it into smaller quantity for resale would be less trubble than making it.

thanks guys, I am going with STARLINE. it seems to be a no brainer.
You might try putting a WTB ad here. There are a lot of diehard .45ACP shooters out there who tend to disparage we .45AR shooters and might be willing to sell AR at a good price.
Not long ago I dumb lucked into 450+ RP for the same price as ACP range brass . I think it was $45 shipped ..... Did I mention dumb luck ?
I also bought some new Star line here , NOS $25/100 I think .

Yes, since it is available from Star-Line at a reasonable price I see no need to reinvent the wheel............
