What shot size are you using? What powder (same powder you use for regular bullets?). Do you weigh the shot and use a powder charge you'd use for a bullet that weighs the same? What gun/s? Thanks

I use 7-1/2 shot over 8.7 gr Unique powder for both the 45 ACP and 44 Mag. I throw the powder from a RCBS powder measure, insert the shot cup,measure the shot with a Lee dipper, and place the gas check and crimp it in place. I have fired the 45 shotshells out of my Combat Commander, M1917, and a friend's 1911, fired 44 shotshells out of my Redhawk. The slow rate of twist isn't too bad on the pattern out to 12 yds, beyond that it really starts to open up.
