playing again. I could not get any 45-caliber shot cups, I have been looking for two years. Finally, I got notice, someone had some 44 shot cups so I got two boxes. They're darned close in size. I can get 138 gr of #9 shot in the capsule and a strip of gorilla tape on the outside makes a nice snug fit. I'll get a load for a 140-gr bullet and see how much room there is in the case. If I need to fill some I'll use a copper gas check under the capsule. We will see how that works. I found some 38-caliber cups, I wonder if I can make them work in my 10mm?

Keep us updated on this one. It will be interesting to see how they pattern at different distances. 
I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

They didn't group well at close range

I have not shot any. In the mean time I got 100 45 colt shot cups, I'll use them and see. The boy has a 44 mag that he can use the other cups.Smile
