The slug-testing has been held-up due to an argument between UPS and USPS as to who has my package of wads, so Midway has sent another set which are scheduled for Friday.
It appears there's a shot cup inside the case holding the shot and also providing a seal. Would it be possible to cut two or three cardboard wads to place over the powder charge and then invert the shot cup with the base at the mouth of the case with a slight crimp. That might hold the shot together longer. You would probably have to fill the shot cup and place it on a flat surface and put the inverted case on top of it. I used to but two piece shot capsules for my .38/357 revolvers. Can't remember what the brand was, but maybe there are .44 caliber versions. That would simplify loading as well.

I just checked the web. It was Speer that made them and the do make them in .44 cal.

Average pellet count of a ½ ounce of #8 shot being 205 that's an impressive pattern. Looking forward to seeing your slug tests.

Looks like an air gun waisted pellet on HGH and steroids! If necessity is the mother of invention, curiosity is the mother of an empty wallet! It'll be interesting to see the range results.
