About a year or two ago someone had an article on making and reloading the .455 automatic. I recall that they used something like the 45 Colt case, cut off to the proper length, the rim reduced, and a deeper extractor cut in the case. It looked like a strightforward job and it was sucessful. Might have a look at the Handloader files. Best regards, the toolman.
