Default 45 ACP shotshell reloading?

I've done some successful shotshell reloading in .38 spl and .44 mag using Speer shot capsules. I've also read about forming .45 ACP shotshell cases from rifle cartridges (cut-down .308 brass, for example), in order to create a case profile that mimics a loaded .45 ACP round, to enable reliable cycling in .45 ACP semiautomatic pistols.

However, I wasn't able to find any data on reloading .45 ACP shot cartridges for use in revolvers such as the 625, using plain-jane .45 ACP cases.

Has anyone ever experimented with this?

Thanks,
Lou
