Is this safe to shoot in a revolver?

A backwards loaded 147 in a 9mm case. 3.3gr of Win 231.

Yep no problem as long as the powder charge is safe for normal loads.

Totally fine.
 

Done it many many times when I’m too lazy to pull and start over. 
 

It’s basically a homemade wad cutter

probably but I wouldn't.

 

I have incidentally shot upside down ones(long colts, lot more case space) and it definetively and authoritatively banged and recoiled alot harder.

will you crack a cylinder?  probably not but do you really want to bust a cylinder for a 25c round?

Why take a chance?  Just pull the round and start over.

My FIL used to load and shoot 148 gr. HBWC lead in reverse in his five shot snub noise revolver self defense pistol - he did this for 30 years….

I wonder if it will tumble. Only one way to find out
