Who are you talking to? In regard to brass every post in this thread is in agreement with you, at least I agree with you.

If you are referring to my “mercy of the manufactures” comment, it had nothing to do with brass.

Maybe unclear, but the point I was trying to make is this. We have proven 45LC brass to be equal in strength to 44 brass. So any question regarding whether or not you can load the 45LC to 44 pressures becomes a question regarding the construction and strength of the firearm. If a manufacturer has a gun capable of handling 454 pressures then you most definitely can load the 45LC to 44 pressures if in the same gun or in a gun built on the same specs and material as the 454. Now for those models that are chambered in 45LC and not in 454 is where we fall to their mercy. If not already capable, they could easily make these guns handle the pressure, but why would they? Cost of manufacturing, safety and future sales/marketing. They answer our call for more power by slightly changing a few things and introducing a new caliber.
