Help with shotshell

Picked up 100 .44 mag shotshells at a gun auction recently. A mix bag of stuff in a box for $5.00. Never loaded them before so not sure how to proceed as to depth of seating, powder charge, etc. None of my loading manuals cover this. Any help would be appreciated. I would be shooting them with my T/C Encore pistol.

    This is from Speer manual # 11 for 44 mag # 7 1/2 8 or #9 shot--- powder 231 7.3 grs ---- unique 6.8 grs ---- bullseye 6grs -- fill shot full in capsule so you can still install base wad down to shoulder-- seat capsules with base wad down in case to oal of 1.6" for 44 may need wadcutter nose punch to seat--- hope this helps - Best dave

    Thanks. These capsules are already loaded. Just didn't know how much powder or how deep to seat.
