Shot loads from a handgun

I loaded up a bunch of .44 Magnum shotshells for a buddy. He swears they were very effective on killing skunks that kept coming into his yard at night. He must have been overrun because I was kept busy rolling out shot capsule reloads using 7 1/2 shot.

I used .38 Special shot capsule to dispatch a squirrel that was running around in circles in my front yard. Later I took out a cat they appeared to have rabies. Finally. a neighbor asked me to dispatch a large white duck that was pecking his duck and doing some real damage. The shot capsule at 15 feet killed that duck as if he was struck by lightening. I have a lot of respect for shot capsules from a handgun. All the best...
