Dave Clements did the one in the pic above, but I understand he is retired.
Try calling Jack Huntington, I seem to recall him building 41 Specials.

A lot of information to digest. I have been day dreaming all winter about a new cartridge to be between the .357 Mg. and the .41 Mg., and shooting a .384 or so diameter bullet. The stopper is that suitable brass to base the cartridge on is unavailable and also bullets would be a problem...
I explored the 10MM when I had a Buckeye Special in 38/40-10MM Auto. It will produce performance better in the Blackhawk than in a semi auto because the pressure can safely be raised higher than factory pressures, but in a DA revolver I much prefer a rimmed case over clips.Sounds like 10mm is not an attractive option for you. I've always liked "wildcats", but there is something to be said about factory cartridges/chamberings, from the cost perspective!

Another individual that does conversions is Gary Reeder in Arizona.Dave Clements did the one in the pic above, but I understand he is retired.

"I'm guessing somebody has made rimmed 10mm cases, based on shortened .30-30 cases."
You mentioned that the brass is commonly available. Right now,, it's NOT commonly available.
I have a GP-100 MC in .10mm. Moon clips are not an issue at all TO ME! I used to think they'd be a problem,, but after I got into using them, especially in USPSA competition, I saw how easily they are to use.
And it's easier to recover brass (as opposed to the shell shuckers out there,) about the fastest way to reload a DA revolver too. And in USPSA,, at bigger matches,, (State, Regional & Nationals,) once brass hits the ground,, it's considered "lost" & the RO's get to recover it during down time or after the match is over. BUT,, with moon clips,, I get all my brass back because I need the moons.
