How do you use the "same" .451 bullet in a 44mag?

Just like the 44/45 300gr XTPs are different, its likely this one is also. This one is designed for 454 Casull which is faster than a 44Mag. Other than the color im sure their quite a few differences. Even the 45cal XTP MAGs are quite different in construction. The 240gr for example has a far thicker jacket than the 300gr MAG.

Im actually really surprised that this bullet appears to have failed to expand or at least very little. That load should be close to 1600fps or probably more.
