I won a Taurus Judge recently in a raffle. It's the one with a 2.6" long cylinder (for 2.5" shells) and a 6.5" barrel. I will probably shoot mostly .45 Colt cartridges in it, which I already reload for. But I've been reading about reloading shotshells, and I have several pounds of Alliant 2400 already I'm going to buy box or two of Winchester or Federal high-brass field loads, and appropriate plastic wads to reload them (probably with four 00 pellets if that will fit; it should be right at 1/2 ounce)
I was going to necro one of the other .410 reloading threads, but they all seem to be closed.
My biggest questions are about sealing the ends.

- If I roll crimp them with something like the Ballistic Products crimper, can I reuse the hulls? Do I have to trim the ends every time, and they get shorter and shorter? Maybe .410 hulls burn thru so fast this is a non-issue.
- Can I glue overshot wads in and skip the crimp altogether? I know you can do that for singleshot shotguns, but don't know if they might come apart under recoil in a revolver?
