I've got RCBS's dies for making shotshells for 1911's out of cut down .308 brass, 410 shotshell wads, a dab of shot, capped by a 00 Buck. They work fine for me in my 1911 and cycle good. They throw a nice rabbit pattern at about 25 ft. I like em'
I've never heard of anyone else ever making these shotshells, and wondered if I was really alone on this. Any TFL'ers ever made any of these? If so what variations and performance do you get?
