Now I understand my issue with glasses! Most boxes either have no bottom tag or they have no load data.

Apparently, pieces of the plastic end caps can get lodged between the cylinder and the barrel causing lock up
I've had rat shot in .38Spl, 9mm, and .45ACP. I don't recall the 9mm off the top of my head, but "cap" on the .45ACP was very different from the .38--the .38 end cap looked like a translucent wadcutter full of shot, but the .45 looked like a necked cartridge with just a slightly domed plastic disc over the end. The cartridge didn't exceed the OAL, but the case was necked down and extended into the space where the bullet would normally be. I'd guess that plastic disc could have problems jumping the gap from the cylinder into the forcing cone, something that wouldn't be an issue in a semi-auto.
