I am set up to load 445 supermag for rifle and I like the cartridge very much. Adtionaly it opens a new door in this state for hunting deer with rifles, which must be chambered for a "designed as" a pistol cartiridge" with certain length limits. The 445 pushes thse limits. I want to modify a Marlin 94 or 336 to reliably feed this deligtful little cartridge.

I know the easy questions about how to make it fit. No problem. To make it feed reliabley is another question which I present to you folks experienced with this particular arm and other attem;pts to "improve" it.
Thank you for any and all wisdom, ideas, insults, or just further conversation for it's own sake.
