Great thread, I never gave this a thought until I read this last night.
This morning I made up a cartridge using 4.5 gr. 231, a cardboard wad, 75gr. of 7 1/2 shot. I capped it off with another cardboard wad and sealed it with wax.
I shot it at a pizza box from 10 ft. and got an approx. 14'' pattern out of a 4'' M 64. In my haste to shoot it, I put on eye protection but forgot my hearing protection, It wasn't that bad and no recoil.
This seems like it will be perfect out of the snubbies.
Thanks for the idea.
