James you don't have to use a .44 case to make your dipper. I use some 30.06 that some hunter was using to zero in his deer rifle to make mine for .308, .260, and .204 dippers. Just measure a load dump it in the rough dipper, mark it and cut it to length. For that matter a small piece of plumbing pipe with a cap on the end would work. Use some imagination and work with what you have
