Tom, I'm disinclined to think it can be done. You did not say what you are shooting them in, but the first step is to establish with dummy rounds whether bullets can be seated deeply enough for the throat to accept them without the taper of case causing too much of a bulge for the cartridge to chamber. If you get past that hurdle, the next step is going to be determining the remaining case capacity in cc. It ain't gonna be much.

I load flush seated WC in the much longer .32 S&W Long, and that gets tricky enough for me. You may have seen some of my posts whining about the difficulty of charges under 2 grains. You're about to run into the same thing, but worse.

And I doubt that you will get much in the way of results. The reduced velocity will probably eat up any advantage of the larger frontal area.

PS-- That heavier bullet is also gonna give you increased slide velocity to worry about in any of the light blowback pocket pistols.
