I have probably stuffed up the link. However, like all good ideas someone has already thought of it. Should be easy enough to duplicate this factory loading.

I also agree with @Flyblown above. A heavy, but very soft, bullet would work too. As long as you can keep the velocity low. Ultimately it will be about keeping the recoil down.
