Never tried 40 to 45. Did do 233 to 6x45 jusr made sure I lube the inside of the case.

Would think you would have hard time getting the bases to convert.

With swagging are you talking about expanding the case or creating a 45cal projectile with the 40 case?

Ive thought about swaging 40 cases into 44 bullets but it has been to cost prohibitive for me.

Here is some good info, you will have to do some searching but it is there:
