Other super magnums
There have been other cartridges that were created by extending the length of existing magnum cartridges. Some of these are:
* The .327 Federal Magnum, based on the .32 H&R Magnum
* The .357 Remington Maximum, based on the .357 Magnum and virtually identical in dimension to the .357 SuperMag
* The .444 Marlin, a rifle round based on the .44 Magnum
Based on the .44 Magnum cartridge, a revolver designed for the .445 SuperMag can also fire .44 Magnum, and .44 Special rounds.

The bullet diameters are also the same at .429, so I see it as safe to fire the 44 mags thru the 445. The 445 super mag is almost worthless if you can't fire 44 mag through it as well.
