I was over at my Grandpa's today and we were talking about his Ruber blackhawk and he showed me an extra cylinder he had. It was bored out to 44 magnum and he showed me a bullet, 44 necked down to .357 magnum. I looked at the case and it had a wierd plastic/rubber insert. He said the guy who made it, (it was in Guns and Ammo in the 70's in the SF Bay Area) had these little collars made so the cylinder could recieve the necked down cases better. Any one heard of this round? Anyone know where to get the little collars? They appear to be black plastic or rubber, very thin and cut to fit.

Weve looked at hardware stores to see if anything fits but no, we want to reload these rounds as he says they are a blast to shoot.
