Hey y'all,
Does anybody have any experience reloading pistol shotshells? What size shot would you recommend for snake or general purpose? My cousin has a 5.5" Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt he reloads for using #8s over 6.5 grains of W-231 and they are pretty good snake medicine out to around 12-15 yards max. I was just wondering since the .44 is smaller diameter if I should go down to #9s or smaller. BTW, I have a Smith 629 w/ 6.5" barrel if that makes any dif.
