Any one make any? I know they can be made with .308 brass but I'm short on that. I've got plenty of 30-06 but I'm not sure if it would be the same. Opinions, stories?

To my understanding .45 brass isn't long enough to head space right and hold the ingredients and crimp.

what are they fired in?




oh, i see,















not your average .38 shotshell, its all internal.




any of the many calibers based on the '06 should work, too many to list here.

I'm reading now that the 06 extractor grove is too shallow to use in a 45.

that could be, the .45 captures the rim as it feeds, it doesn't snap over .

My uncle used to make them out of .308 brass using #9 shot with a .44 round ball on top and crimped over that. They would cycle in his 1911 with a light spring in it.

Do you recall how he made them? It looks like I'll have to order online or get .308 brass and work some loads.
