Do any books show a recipe for .38 spl using shot in between two gas checks? Would you seat the first gas check on the powder, or at what depth? I have #8 shot but what I have seen recommended #10. How much shot? is it loaded by grain or pellet count? I assume a heavy crimp on the top gas check. Looking for recommendations on books that definitely answer these questions. Not necessarily a load min and max. ( But I would listen to any load advice as well). Not really wanting to run the capsules due to cost, and availability. Also concerned about fragility of the capsules. (are they)?
