My mother has always carried a .44spl Charter Arms bulldog for home defence and snakes when out and about. The first round that gets fired is a bird shot capsule. The theroy being that she can make a quick first shot and follow up with aimed shots (200grJHP). The bird shot is prety devistating at close ranges but would probably sting like hell at 25 meters. I was looking for shot capsule for my 45acp to load my own and can't find them. CCI has ready made bird shot cartridges but they case is full lenght like a blank. It seem to me that it would make for very unreliabe ejection. Untill I find the capsules for reloading I will stick to hollow points. Here is my qestions?
1. What are the tatical pros and cons of loading bird shot as the first round?
2. Where can I .45cal shot capsules?
