> .45 win mag has a 30mm case length but OAL is still 40mm, I checked the wikipedia entry, and visual identification goes that direction too.

Actually to goe full autist with this, I think this example would actually work:
- Beretta M96 (.40sw) vertec model.
- Scaled up by about x1.2 or x1.21 on all axes.
> its only 20% bigger
Firing chamber modified to shape the contour of the custom round. Designer stretches the rifling pattern in the barrel to change the twist rate and reduces the extrusion so it doesnt proportionally dig deeper into the bullet.
Designer could even take the recessed trigger used in trigger jobs for a shorter pull and use the model for that to print instead of the standard trigger.
Magazine capacity 13 with scaled up magazines but they'd only load it to 10 for reliability, should hold the ammunition just fine but the feed lips might have to be bent slightly.

For the ammo I had a similar idea about the Nailguns in Quake that they were actually something like 10mm Auto that had the metal armor piercing bolt loaded into them and then were belted for use in the weapons. Made up a fanfic and rpg setting for Quake1 that I havent used yet where the nailguns were actually used for construction but dictated to the defense contractor they also had to double as good close range weapons too. That way the thousands upon thousands of nail strips available for off-world construction could be readily used as ammunition too, no need whatsoever for a separate logistics supply train except for the shotgun shells.
