Last I checked, nada. But going forward, do you think it may happen ? I have my own handloaded versions with rice, 8 shot and 9 shot now. Do like their plastic capsules too, though. They recently came out with red ones, with larger shot sizes than traditional, so maybe open to expanded calibers available too ?

That would be nice. I use #9shot in my 45 auto cylinder for squirrels at the house. But would prefer #5-6 shot. Should be able to throw 5/8 oz or more from the 45. And 3/4 oz with the 475, 480.

I've made .45 Colt snake loads by seating a gas check on the powder charge, then fill with #9 shot and add an inverted gas check and crimp to hold it all together. It works but the 44 plastic shotcups are a lot easier.

I have no industry contacts, but suspect that the use numbers for a .475 shot capsule are way lower that the cost of making one in that caliber???
I haven't checked, do they make them in 50 cal??? how about 32??? the 327 is long enough, that it could handle a decent charge if seated deeply into the case???

I use 454 Casull brass for a long shotshell load in 45 Colt. Best to anneal the case mouth prior to criping or it tends to split... at least on my old FA brass...
I've been using primer container cardboard for bottom and top wads to keep the shot and powder separated.

I like the inverted gad check idea. I use Walter Wads that are here for the loading of BP anyways, or plastic from coffee can lids. Don't use the plastic down between powder and shot though, plastic coats your bore...not good.

Am hoping that with more Alaskans,Toklats, SRH's, the BSBH's and other brands , that it will become a feasible thing for them to market. Next thought is sometimes I get or see small fishing lures coming in clear plastic tubes, similar to the CCI products. Wonder if something usable is already floating around out there.

Simply take a 4570 case and "neck" it down with a 45 colt die so that it will chamber, First you need to trim it to fit in the cylinder, .10 short of cylinder length will work. Then drop your powder charge, place either a gas check or leather wad over the powder, fill with shot and roll crimp a gas check or leather wad on top. I prefer the leather wad and then a drop of elmers glue.
I've used 50alaskan for 500max and 500L, 460SW for 45 colt, 10mm mag for 10mm, 9mm win mag for 38 super, etc.
Just use your imagination,........BTW, the 500max shotshell holds 7/8 oz. of #8's, and is effective on clay birds out to 15 yds.
