The Speer Reloading Manuals, have loads listed... But, that would be bad, in a self defense sit...I have a buddy that carries the first two rounds in his 38 with bird shot in them. Does anyone have reloading data for shot in a 38 cartridge?
This sounds very interesting. Could we get a more detailed description of the process please?I found this many years ago in an article. 45 ACP shotshells made from 308 rifle brass. It is a lengthy process to get the brass cut and formed the first time. Used a cut off 410 shotgun wad. These will cycle an auto. I have shot a few clay pigeons with them.
I'm guessing it would cycle in some autos better than others.I found this many years ago in an article. 45 ACP shotshells made from 308 rifle brass.

jtb, thanks for the info. I enjoy making stuff like that. I sometimes get bored loading the same ol’ rounds and like making up something different like when I loaded up a batch of .410’s that were 1 ½” long. They’re impractical and don’t function too well in my pump but at least it keeps me off the streets.I have load info for 700x, Green Dot, Unique and Bullseye if anyone is interested but the WW-231 is the way to go.
No more than you would use a bird shot cartridge in a pistol reloading them would probably not be that economical since they a pack of them are not that expensive. JMHO

I have very few Winchester powders on hand but I do have all of the Alliant Powders you mentioned. Some are labeled Hercules and those are the ones I need to use up. If you would, please post the data for the other powders you mentioned. Thanks.
