About a year ago I bought 10 pounds of #11 shot, a lifetime supply.

I have made shotshells for most of my revolvers, 45 Colt, 41 & 44 mag, then 38 spcl. If I don’t have or buy the shot cups I put fingernail polish over the shot(flush with case) to hold it in place.

Most often the powder is a mild charge of Titegroup.
