It’s been a long time since I loaded any but my load was 6 or 7 grains of Unique, a gas check upside down, fill with #9 shot and crimp a gas check over the shot. It would shred a snakes head at 5-10 feet.
This sounds like the easiest way to go. I’d kinda like to keep the shot somewhat separated from the bore although it might not matter. A 5 to 10 foot effective snake load from my 357 PD is pretty much what I’m looking for.
