Default Re: stolen luger (LONG)

One of the things I do when I want to recover a bullet is to load a bullet with a 1/4 load (no slow burning powder). Such as a grain or two of bullseye, keeps the velocity down and makes the energy level low enough to make the bullet recovery easier, but you have to be careful you dont get the bullet stuck, then you will have to drive the bullet out from the back with a rod and mallet. I use to shoot cockroachs when I was in college with rubber bullets (wadcutters) that I cut from a big rubber eraser with only 1 gr of fast powder, fun stuff, but those bullets bounced and richoeted a lot!
