Folks,

Do any of you know who might sell .38 caliber pistol ammo (or other centerfire calibers) loaded with #12 shot? I've looked at a lot of factory sites (Remington, Winchester, CCI, and others) and all I can find is .22s. If any of you reload your own which components do you use?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best

CCI makes it in alot of flavours, 22lr and mag, 38spcl, 357mag, 44spcl and mag, 45lc, I don't have any 9mm or 45acp on hand but I think they make it in those also. :D

CCI makes shotshells in just about all the handgun calibers. I have used the .40s&w's they work alright but dont always cycle the action.

I use Speer 38 cal shot capsuals with #7.5 shot and Herco powder. Worked very well on a cooperhead last year.

Unfortunately, CCI uses #9 in all centerfire calbers except 9mm.
#12 in .22RF & .22 Mag.
