Well they say there is a first time for everything. Mate recently got his loads mixed up and shot pig in back of neck at close range with his "possums ONLY" subsonic .44 magnum load I make for him. Cheap as chips copper washed cast driven by small amount of ap30 or ap50 well pig did not approve but dogs stopped him again where proper load was used.mate skinned out pig and presented me with the barely marked projectile,perfect apart from rifling marks....so I reloaded it again....waste not want not and all that LOL.

@mickeyduck we all talk about how many firings we can get out of a piece of brass… how many firings do you reckon you can get out of the one projectile!?
