You can create custom shot cartridges with a different shot size or velocity with our Empty Speer(R) Shot Capsules. Simply fill them with your favorite size shot (not included), snap in the base wad, and load like a conventional bullet. Shot Capsules are available in 44-caliber and .45 Colt (25 count) and .38/.357 (50 count), and include base wads. Loading data is available in the Speer Reloading Manual. Note: Intended for short-range pest and varmint control. Not recommended for self-defense. Not for use in firearms having ported recoil compensators.
