Use a 410 shotcup. You will have to cut it own. Use a 44 cal gas check and crimp it in place.

Assuming you are going to try to fire these in a 44 Mag chamber, you will have to base strip the brass because 444 has a .470 head size, and you will have to cut the brass to fit the chamber. Too much work. To make 44 Mag shotshells, use 44 Mag brass, 8 gr of Unique, cut a shot cup to fit into the case and leave about 1/16", fill the shotcup with shot, and crimp a 44 or 41 cal gas check in place. No glue needed.
