John, your very welcome, pleasure is all mine. Keep the fired brass case and recovered bullet for yourself. This is to assure it not getting misfiled. Bullet recovery is an art. Some use a water tub, just be sure it is deep enough. If it strikes the tub bottom or side it will cause a blemish or deformity. A large bale of waste cotton or most anything this is soft, that will absorb the energy and not put a mark on the slug. Caution, if you shot into some of the soft materials fire can be a danger. Recovery of the bullet is always by hand, no impliments. Put the recovered parts, brass & bullet in a clear plastic baggie. Yes, the brass should be from a factory new cartridge. So to speak, from the box directly to the chamber. The cartridge should be hand fed into the chamber, Using a magazine may/will leave marks on the case or bullet. Do not mark either the brass or the bullet. Pertinent into should be on the container, which should also be of a soft material. This is an extreme description, but doing it right, eliminates questions, if they arise, at a time in the future. Hope this helps.
