I made some shot shells for various cartridges. I went even easier. I started with a supply of #11 shot from one of the outdoor stores, Midway likely, maybe Cabelas.
I used a modest charge of a faster powder, Titegroup usually. I’d look to the Speer data for their capsules.
Then to simplify, I just use a layer of fingernail polish on top, no wad, no capsule, no nothing. Just let it sit & dry, two layers if needed.
One other thing I’ve found, not just these type, but some shotshells don’t do well in the cylinder while firing other rounds, like a mixed cylinder. For this reason I’d rather load separately, or in reverse, have the shot shell loaded to fire 1st, where needed. I’m thinking about when I fired 2-3 , 38 +p in my scandium revolver & had a capsule break in the next cylinder.
I’m easy on snakes too, but ready for the venomous type.
