Rey I like the idea of all brass. Anyone can buy ammo. I'm guessing you don't buy 45 ammo. I've got Unique, a few thousand primers and people on here that can teach me something. Knowledge is power, all brass shotshells in 45 are cool.

So, I’ll get my 2 cents in here……
I was told that Speer only makes these once a year and after that good luck…..
I found this to be true and found some a year or so ago at Huntington die specialties

Does anybody hear 3D print?
Print the cylinder with striations for fragility, top off with shot, print scored cap on top.
Seems like with a little R&D they could be made superior to the Speer capsules and in multiple calibers and lengths. Print a grid of the cylinders, fill them all, print caps- could do hundreds at once potentially.

If anyone knows for certain where some could be had please let me know. Looking for 38, 44, or 45. I found two places that have TONS and only take Zelle or Bitcoin. I found one place that stated they had some and I placed my order with my Amex. I got an e-mail a couple minutes later saying they were back ordered. Or if someone could post the link about other homemade ideas, Thank you. I have one box of Speer 44 cal shot capsules if you are interested.

460 brass on the way for 45's, at least two dozen 303 Jeffries in the trove I sorted and I'm not done yet. 3D printing would be another tool to buy and things to learn, not for me in THAT regard sir.

OK, here is what I found. Had these forever & if they will work for you, you can have them for the shipping. As shown they are for 38 special. Box appears to be full. Dick

Stay away from everything that accepts zelle, bitcoin and i cant remember but there are a couple others but they are scams. I dont know why those sites havent been yanked down lord knows if ya dont walk a straight line they will hammer you but these scam sites are everywhere. If it dont take a credit card or paypal stay away

When using the blue capsules, I'll just say there is room between say, a charge of Bullseye and the bottom of the capsule. Wink wink. Allow for the extra payload.

If you just want to make snake loads, all you need is a piece of cardboard, plastic or a gas check to go over the powder, then the same to go over the shot (I use #9 robbed from 12 ga. shells), after which a dab of hot glue or epoxy holds everything in place. People seem to forget one doesn't have to shoot snakes from distance; at 6'-8' there's no danger of getting bit and ANY shot load will work at that distance.

For 45 Colts I use 460 S&W brass and run it partway into a 44-40 die, then trim to match cylinder length. I can fit just over 5/8oz of no.8 shot in there.

I have an old box that my stepmother gave me after my Dad passed away last year, I have no idea how old they are, they are Speer 38/357 yellow capsules with red base wads, the box says 50, I'm not sure how many are actually there. PM me your address and I will ship them next week sometime. NC
