[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2539408, member: 106919"] So, random question for you smart people out there. Doesn’t have anything to do with long range hunting or precision reloading, but it’s reloading non the less. I know reloading any round way below book values can be very dangerous in a firearm, but what about a bang stick? The reasoning behind this is to reduce damage to the animal when discharged. I’d like maybe 2-3” max of penetration. I am getting ready for gator season and for the first year I’m going to use a bang stick. I picked one up with a 45LC/410 (slug only?) power head. I have plenty of brass/bullets for the 45 LC, and I reload for it. I’m wondering if there is any danger if I load a few at like 10% normal load values if there’s any danger with it? I’ll make sure I make it apparent which ones they are so I don’t shoot out if my pistol. I figure if there’s no barrel for the bullet to get stuck in pressure always has a way to escape the second the bullet leaves the casing? Don’t want to kill or maim myself by trying, figured I’d ask first. Thanks! Ryan [/QUOTE]
