Replacing steel shot with slugs

I had an unholy idea and wanted to ask if you see any problem with that.

My clay shooting range decided that we can only use 24g steel shot. It used to be that 28g was also okay.

I still have a lot of 28g steel shot shells and I have a 12ga 7/8oz slug mold.

7/8oz is about 25g

My idea was to open up the now useless 28g steel shot shells and add the lead slug into the shot cup.

Physically it all fits.

But do you see any safety problems with that?

In my opinion it should be fine, since I have a slighly lighter projectile and the friction surface is the shotcup to the barrel anyway, so no change there.

Ofc I would use a cylinder bore choke for it.

Do you see any safetly problems here?

Pressure spikes or something?

After some back and forth, considering a 4" vs 6", full lug or not, I finally settled on the full lug 6".

Found this version with thumb rest wooden grips, fits my hands perfectly!

Now I just have to wait for the paperwork to go through, which usually takes 2 weeks here, and then I finally am a produ owner of a .44mag revolver 😬

But as usual, I am already looking for the next model...

What .22lr SA/DA revolver could your reccomend?

Usecase sport shooting, mostly static at 15 to 50m. It must have a double action trigger tough, not a big fan of SA only revolvers 😅
