Shotshell loads for .38 Special are low-pressure loads, so shooting them in the LCR should not be a safety issue.
The real issues are the patterns developing a center hole and the capsuls in the other chambers coming apart from recoil. The short barrel of the LCR tens to make the shot pattern center more dense, but also tends to give more recoil due to the light gun weight.
I suggest that you load the capsuls as deep as the data specifies to allow for some capsul movement with recoil.
I also advise you to check patterns at reasonable "snake distances" and REDUCE the charge as needed to make the center of the pattern get fuller.
Also, #9 shot, or even #11 or #12 shot will work on snakes and make much better patterns from a .38 case. Save the #7½ shot for the .44s and .45s.
