I have loaded 44mg & 45Colt with gas checks and they work
fairly well. What I want to try is 410 shot cups with gas check
on top. Shot cup could be trimmed to desired length easily.
I have tried the 45 ball over shot, didn't do well for me. A
single ball is very accurate at close range-25', from both 44
and 45. I never did shot from 45/70, but did balls in 30/30
30/06, 375H&H and 45/70. Again prooved to be very accurate
at short ranges with gallery powder loads. I Aloxed the balls.
