Speer 44 shot capsules

[grumpyold]

I have a pigeon problem. Tried the .22LR shot, better off throwing rocks. Anyone know where Speer/CCI capsules may be available?

no need for the capsules you can make shot shells without them. This is the method i use for shot shells in my 357.

If you have a .44 you can make your own.
In a 44 case.....
4.0 of bullseye over a large pistol primer.
Take a 410 shotshell wad, and push down into the case until firmly seated. Trim the wad to length... Slightly below 44 case mouth.
Fill with shot... Smaller is better.
Using a 44 gas check as a over shot card....Adjust the bullet seating stem on your die to compress the gascheck over the shot column, and use the crimp adjustment to crimp the case mouth over the gas check, holding it in place.
Nail polish will work as a sealer if needed.
I have used 100s of these in a Super Blackhawk for pest control as well as aerial fun shooting.
Have fun

X-Reload carries 'em.

I could spare a box of them.

Thanks for the replies. I've loaded them as thegunnut stated, just thought if I could find them it would save me sometime. More time blasting rats with wings, less time at the bench!

When I make these I use a 48 oz juice can as a test target. I want enough power to shoot through the steel, on one side only. If I load too hot, it blows the pattern.
