Also some of the barrels actually made by TC in small quantities, are sought after by collectors. I wouldn't sweat not having 445 super brass or dies, unless your figure on hunting zombies.
It is a fine round, and offer's a little more than the 44 Remington Magnum, powerwise, if the shooter can make use of it. This much power does come with a cost, and that cost is called recoil. It is not for the faint of heart.

it used .444 Marlin brass cut to 1.600", and this brass being larger in diameter than .44 Magnum brass, was swaged and turned on a lathe until it matched .44 Magnum dimensions. The reason, of course, was to also allow the use of the shorter .44 Magnums in the same cylinder.
