Range test today on my new 30 Luger lead bullets, I wanted to capture one with a squib load for miking to get a correct diameter. I did this with a 44 Magnum with only 1 gr of medium speed powder and it worked like a champ. I had 4 gallon milk jugs in a row and the bullet only went into the first one. Today with only 7/10th of one grain that is 0.7 gr, less than one grain of the same powder figured I didnt need all 4 jugs, was wrong. That little bullet went through all three of the gallon jugs I had out and sailed off into oblivion. Back to the drawing board I guess. More on this when I have my bullet (I hate driving lead slugs down barrels)
