I have a Kel-Tec 380 semi-auto pistol, and needed a shot load for it.

The company does not make one for the 380, so I acquired some 9 MM shot shells, and want to put the shot capsules into the 380 shells. The weight of the capsule is about 64 Gr. (APProx. 55 gr. of #12 birdshot.)

Can anyone tell me how much and what type of powder to put behind this load to eject the spent shell, be safe, and therefore be semi-auto with the shot load? The capsules are rounded in front. I have Unique powder, and access to Bullseye.
