Supposing a guy had some 000 Buck and a thin cardboard tube, would this be possible??

Yes it would, and yes it`s been done (in some fashion)..Remington used to make, or still does, the Pw`er Ball load for the 357mag....It had three buckshot rounds inside....I had a box, years ago....Ok fine for close in work....

That could be usefull if handgun hunting was allowed. How do they perform in a rifle?

I hear the buckshot comes out flat as a pancake.

I'd like to try this (among other things) for my 38 s&w for laughs. I was wondering if they would squish up too much when the followers met the first one in the bore.

Sounds German to me!

The 38 S&W (not Special) is a pretty short case and I can't see fitting even 2 shots in it with room for the powder too.

Would you use a wad with this too?

.22, 9mm, .38 (next to a .357)

Yes it is quite the stubby case...I figure I'd be able to get at least two .36 cal round balls in a cardboard tube. Seems to me 1.235-1.240 is about the max length I could stuff in the cylinder without worrying it would bind up.

I am thinking of trying a birdshot load as well....useless for sure but so is collecting stamps. I rolled up a tube out of a toilet paper roll and cut a few wads out of styrofoam plate and cardboard. I did that with a case chamfering tool to sharpen the rim.

I set it .25 inch into the case and weighed the shot charge...roughly 65 #8 pellets and with wad and tube total weight around 85 grains.

Guilty of thinking " I wonder what would happen if....."
