28 years ago we used #9 or #12 shot between two cardboard "wads" in .357 cases and Bullseye or W231. Mike Venturino wrote of using crimped .44/.45 lc cases. We would use marine expoxy to hold the shot together which lead to a marine expoxy BB inside a reversed wadcutters..good memories.
Only hits count.

Pretty cool.yeah this is basically what I'm doing.coffee can lids as wads then crimp the end and seal with something?not sure what I'll use on the sealing at the crimp yet.i would just use .357 gas checks but don't want to pay $35 for 1000 of them

Take a sized but not expanded .38/.357 case and chamfer the inner and outer edge of the case mouth, then use it as a die to punch out overshot cards using a plastic milk jug for material. Awesome idea thanks I appreciate it. was trying to figure out a easy way to punch out the overshot spacers

I have used the Unique load with a capsule, but replaced the shot with 3 #1 buck pellets. It would hold a pattern the size of my palm at 10 yards or so. The recoil from the first shot would bust the end out of the rest of the capsules in the cylinder. Has potential to be a pretty neat load. I'll figure it out one day.
May the sound of hounds never die!

I load my own 45 shotshells and use the reversed gas checks. It works well and is very durable.
I will take some photos of them over the weekend and post. Sweet thanks.maybe my best bet is buy gas checks atleast I'll have a lifetime worth.

Let me see if I can post this image... if I can't, you may have to click. On the left is the CCI shotshell we all know. Middle is a remake of the WWII .45 shotshell with an inverted gas check (RCBS sells the dies to make these -- you use .308 Win brass, commercial is best). The gas check makes a durable package. These feed just fine out of a magazine and the #9 shot is perfect on snakes. On the right is a USGI WWII M15 shotshell by Remington. I can't tell for sure what they used to seal the cartridge, but it looks like lacquered cardboard. Nice to know thanks alot.
