For the "perfect" cartridge dimensions which I wanted to stay as close as possible to, the wall thickness around where the extractor would come is would be too thin. I didn't want it to break. I went with a 45 because there is lots of room for metal, and after the internal hollowing, it would still be strong.

Ya, I've glued spent casings onto my valve caps before, but this time I wanted the entire cartridge, not just the spent case.
