    With a lot of trimming, you can have a .38 Extra Short Big Tom.

    Just kidding, I'd give it a good burial in the scrap bucket.

    Duct tape will get it back as good as new,,,, maybe better.

    it is a .44 mag - tried downsizing to .38 special as suggested, but did not fit the die, no matter how hard I pressed.... Then resized to .44 again, added some super glue and looks much better now!

    JB Weld is great! But it's really hard on sizing dies.
