I loaded up a few of these today.
I used a 38 spl shell casing and reamed the inside of the case mouth, and used it to cookie cut some card board wads.
I loaded 2.7gr of Bullseye and inserted a wad, on top of that went about 78gr of #8 shot approx 55 pellets, that was capped off with another wad and the case was crimped.
Here are the results at 8 feet;
This load proved effective against a pop can, but I have my doubts on how it do against rattle snake skin. I guess more powder = a bit less shot and maybe more velocity ?
Any help with this endeavour would be welcome.
thanks
