I need some advice for making shotshells for a Glock Model 20 in 10MM.
I carry the 10MM when I'm at the deer lease by myself, just in case a big boar hog takes personal offense at my presence.
After 35 years on this lease without ever seeing a snake, we are starting to see rattlesnakes and water moccasins with some frequency. I hunt one stand in a swampy bottom.
I have made shotshells for .38 Spl, .357 Mag and .44 Mag using plastic shot capsules, but have no experience with autoloaders.
I've got some No. 12 copper plated shot, that I've used in the revolver shotshells, as well as No. 7-1/2 and 9 shot.
I've seen reference to making shotshells using gas checks over and under the shot, but without a hard roll crimp, I'd be concerned about the checks rotating or moving and shot jamming the action.
There's probably plastic shot caplets on the market, and thinking about this, I may need the plastic nose to avoid feeding problems, but I thought I would ask the Gurus on this forum first.
Maybe someone has figured out how to do it. It never hurts to ask.
Of course, I could just buy some, but where's the fun in that!
