I have an idea for a 44 hollow-base "type" wadcutter bullet. Fill spent .40 caliber pistol brass with 180, 200, 240gr or however much you want, doesn't matter, of molten cast lead and load the open end in a 44 magnum case. When fired the rear of the brass that is not filled with lead has to expand and fit the bore making a very efficient gas seal. The OD of 40 brass is about .425" so it's not going to have to expand much at all to fit the .429" bore of a 44 .
Only problem I see is filling each .40 brass with the exact same amount of lead making consistent projectiles....maybe some can help on this?
And of course we'll have to see what accuracy would be?
For a person such as me who has a 5 gallon bucket full of 40 brass without a 40 caliber pistol, why not try it?
