[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1904144, member: 87371"] I will never forget wandering into a very small, but very well known gun shop in Southern California many years ago (~1967) as the owner and his friend were working up a load for a pistol. I don't remember what cartridge it was, but it was probably a wildcat of some kind as they were famous for their hot wildcats. The friend had just loaded up a cartridge and proceeded to shoot it into a large tree stump they kept for that very purpose. There was a very heavy report, and the guy turned, shook his hand and said "well it must not be too hot -- I still have my hand!" That was my introduction to "testing" wildcat cartridges. Not a good introduction. [/QUOTE]
