What do I have here? 44 Shotshell?

[wallacem]

OK guys, I have had these little yellow containers sitting on the shelf for a long time. They are 1.1" long, .420 dia., and filled with small shot. I assume they are for making 44 cal shotshells. Does anyone know what to do with them for sure? I took the picture with one stuck in a 44 spl case. Wallacem in ga

6.8 gr of unique with 140gr of shot in the 44 capsule is the std. Load. Works in the Mag and SPL cases.

If they are .420 i dont think they are gonna work in a .44 since they are .429 ….. ??
