Back in the 80's i saw something about a buck n ball 45 round.
Like 9 shot,410 wad, caped with a 00 buck crimped it all in.
Even made with cut down 06, 7.62 blanks.
Not the m15 round.
Was suppose to help get game with a 45 for survival.
Am i remembering correctly, and if so what would be needed to make them?
thanks
That sounds like it, I don't remember the hot glue.
Suppose to have been issued to airmen when shot down.
#9 for birds and such, Buck for bigger stuff.
And fed perfect in SMG's
Seems there was a trim die for this, I bought the wrong one LOL.
Looked for a wile to find the set, then it drifted away.
Just found my 1st un crimped experiment.
But 410 wad.
Seems a good use for blank 7.62's

Sorry I can't help beyond confirming your memory.
EDIT the plastic and hot glue was my Idea. not the original recipe . I had some punches made to make auto engine gaskets and can't remember if I use 3/8 inch punch or 7/16 inch . I did a lot of testing and experimenting. Final results made me think a lot of time spent and during that time I had become a fairly good target shooter, so I Just shoot them in the eye and you don't lose much meat and don't bite down on shot LOL.
