Have you tried firing some as is after just lubing them? Bullets designed for gas checks (they have a small rebated base a bit like a boat tail) can be shot perfectly well without them. The only...

100% agree with this - get my wife to use the port aft rope to basically secure the boat to the jetty stopping forward movement. She is 5’ not very much and can to this safely from in the cockpit. If...
