I reload both 44 special and 44 magnum with the same bullets, but I hate having to fiddle with adjusting lockrings every time I swap (which is frequent). The simple solution is to use an offset bushing that compensates for the difference in case length.
I originally made one on the lathe, but I figured it might be nice to have others for various reasons. It's likely that a machined bushing can be made accurate more easily, but having the (optional) label tags is convenient.
You may need to print sample parts and measure them to get a correction factor. If necessary, the part can be printed over-height and sanded to thickness on the top face. That's why the tag thickness is less than the bushing height. If nothing else, you can print an incremental series with blank tags and just write the measured size on them.
The included STL file is intended only for the web-preview. It's probably not even the size you would need.
