Following the Doc Rocket thread John Havard posted, I use .445 SuperMag brass, .410 shot cups and 6 grains of Universal to make shot shells for my .44's (both Magnum and Special). How much shot? All that will fit in the case.
The first loading I used a 7x57 sizer to get the front half of the cases small enough to fit in the cylinder throats, all subsequent loadings I've used a 10mm sizer and push the "shoulder" back enough to fit Special chambers. .41 Mag sizer might work as well.
Whether these work better than the Speer Shot Capsules I don't know, but they are certainly less fragile.
