These were designed around his "Slip-In" bullet. Using this bullet the cartridge cases, once fired in your gun, never needed to be resized, neck expanded or crimped. Case life is indefinite. These are strictly for practice, short-range loads. Loaded at 500 to 600 fps they made excellent loads for learning aerial shooting as you could catch sight of the bullet and see whether you were shooting too soon or too late.

These bullets were light for the caliber. In .38/.357 they weighed about 110 grains. As I said, intended for short-range practice. Because they were almost a "heel" type bullet, shorter cases needed to be used. In the .357 we used .38 Special cases. In the .38 Special we used .38 Long Colt cases. In the .44 Magnum, .44 Special were used. In the .44 Special we used .44 Russian cases.
The front band on the bullet butted close to the step in the chamber. It was the same OD as the cartridge. This acted like a crimp and kept the light loads of powder from "pooping." As a teenager I shot many thousands of these, practicing aerial shooting, fast draw, shooting moving targets, shooting from moving cars etc. Great fun!
