Shotgun shell with 50 cal pellet followed by 00 buckshot

Was at the Waxahachie gun show and saw the shell in the subject line. Looked pretty impressive. Anyone have any experience with these?

Is that factory ammo or somebody's reloads?

Reloads. The shell was clear plastic so you could see the pellets.

Didn't think to ask. Was too in awe of that big ball setting at the end of the shell to ask any questions.

The one I saw had a lot more in it. The surface of the 50 cal ball was out even with the end of the shell. It was very wicked looking.
