They took the .44 Spl up to the .44 Rem mag.

Similarly they took the .45 Colt up to .454 Casull, but then up again to .460 S&W.

So why have they not made another jump up in the .429 caliber cartridges, seeing as big-bore seems de-rigueur these days?

I'm just curious:
I am not looking to replace my .44Mag. I just want to know if there is a reason.
