I just put a good external chamfer on my cartridges and knocked the OO's in with a nylon hammer. It slices a tiny annular sliver off the ball. Great around camp shooting rats or coons without waking up the world.

reminds me of our rat loads in the huts when bored on wet day - we would take the projectile out of a .222 then shave slivers (tiny) of a .22 mix with wax and put into .222 after tipping out a lot of powder - when mousey or ratty appeared bang - surprisingly effective - huts not visited for some time rats were at times bad - gin trap and peanut butter worked well when carefully hair trigged - remember pulling horse up in front of the old Parihaka hut Waiau River - I could hear the rats scuttling from under the mattresses across the floor to holes under fire place - kept riding another couple of hours to Central Waiau
