Although a backwards loaded wad cutted would indeed be a nasty piece of work, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use anything other than factory loaded ammo for defense carry. In the civil trial that would always follow a self defense shooting, the other side would absolutely demonize you for concocting your own ammo. "What's the matter, factory ammo wasn't deadly enough? You had to make something worse to shoot my poor client." A uninformed Jury would eat this up and hang you out to dry. Doesn't matter if the District Attorney deems it a righteous shoot and not prosecute you, the bad guy and/or his family will come looking for a pay day. Nuff said.

Have you found these in 50rd LEO packaging, instead of the overpriced 20rd boxes?I use the Speer Gold Dot in the 135 gr flavor IIRC. It is specifically made for short barrel revolvers
