[QUOTE="1moredeer, post: 2211724, member: 112951"] My grandad had an old Remington model 8 in 35 Remington. He loaded reduced loads and filled the empty space in the case with cotton batting. He cast his own bullets and used it for plinking. There was not enough gas pressure to cycle the action, he had to cycle it by hand. Had to clean it often, the lead and the cotton would plug up the gas ports. He gave me the “ don’t try this at home” speech about reduced loads, said it was too dangerous. I took his word for it and never tried it. Far as I remember, that’s the only gun he ever shot a reduced load in. [/QUOTE]
