Snake shot and revolvers

[HoLeChit]

OK, I am being lazy here. I stepped into a few of these plastic shot capsules, some with pellets already inserted, for 38/357 and 45. Where are you finding reloading data? My old Speer manual does not appear to have the data. Thank you!

Wow! I need to wear better glasses! I never noticed that information, and it inc Unique.

Post a pic of your 45's box and data if you have it please!

Now I understand my issue with glasses! Most boxes either have no bottom tag or they have no load data.

With a seat / crimp die adjusted to seat first with NO CRIMP, then back off the seater and set up and crimp last

Apparently, pieces of the plastic end caps can get lodged between the cylinder and the barrel causing lock up

I've had rat shot in .38Spl, 9mm, and .45ACP. I don't recall the 9mm off the top of my head, but "cap" on the .45ACP was very different from the .38--the .38 end cap looked like a translucent wadcutter full of shot, but the .45 looked like a necked cartridge with just a slightly domed plastic disc over the end. The cartridge didn't exceed the OAL, but the case was necked down and extended into the space where the bullet would normally be. I'd guess that plastic disc could have problems jumping the gap from the cylinder into the forcing cone, something that wouldn't be an issue in a semi-auto.
