The capsules can be easily ordered .... IF you can find them in stock :) 5.5gr of Unique w/#9 shot.

I bought some .38 shot shell capsules and reloaded them last year. Just a couple of my observations:
1.) If I resize the brass on my reloader, the capsule is a little too large in diameter to fit easily in the brass. I sort thru my .38 brass to find those that will load in my revolver cylinder without resizing and load the capsules in them. 2.) The loaded capsules are too long for my .38 special revolver cylinder but fit well in my .357 cylinder. 3.) It does not take much crimp to bust the capsule!

Disclaimer: These are my observations using my own equipment only. Your experience may be completely different.

Able is in Texas, so I expected the ammo would arrive quickly, but not quite this fast...the package is already here. Thanks again KiotiKowboy!

Good for you RD! Still waiting in Oklahoma but I'm just glad to have found it at all.

I think eventually I'll move up to the 44 shotshell because of its much better pattern. I shot/killed a moccasin a few weeks ago and I think only 3 pellets hit from 8 feet away. I may keep an eye out for a nice lightweight 2" 44.

I gave up and bought a Smith & Wesson Governer, slickest litte chicken coop gun ever!
