I've had some .44mag shot shells around for YEARS, seems like 8 shot (scavenged from a 12 ga) and 6 grs unique.

Rats in the wood shed, last night. First shot, 15 ft appx, rat rolled and got away. Second shot, 10 ft, very dead rat, plus, the dang stuff shot THROUGH the galvanized tin on the shed!!!!!!!!!!

Well....I got the pistol 'cause I figured the .410 WOULD shoot through, but the handgun would not. I've got about a 1 ft pattern on the side of the shed to remind me I was wrong.
