buckstix,
My cousin has a Stevens chambered for that round. He loads ammo using 7x57R cases that I gave him. He shoots birds around the house that are destructive to the songbirds he is trying to attract. There are other cases that can be used, I just had enough 7x57Rs. His gun is a "hoot" and is pretty effective too. Yours is very interesting.

Hello Der Ami,
Thanks for the reply.
I use 44-40 cases loaded with a paper shot capsule that I make myself. I take a 1-3/4" square of paper and wrap it around the steel mandrel shown in the cartridge box to make a shot capsule. I then fill them with 200g of #7-1/2 shot.
Very good results!
