gumpokc,

I handload my shot loads using Unique powder, gaschecks and #6 shot. My older Speer Manual lists powder charges for .38 Special, .357 magnum and .44 and .45 rounds. I put in a dose of Unique, a gas check with the cup up, a dose of shot almost to the case mouth and then a gas check on top (cup down) and lightly crimp making a brass shotshell of sorts.

The Tioga County rattlers like my concoction. ALWAYS wear eye protection when shooting any shot loads because the fine shot will bounce back into your face from a hard surface!

Adam
