It wont work
So let me tell you the experience I just had with these bullets. So while Carolyn went to her baby shower I took Ginger up to the mountains on the west side of Utah Lake to the shooting area that is over there. Well the first problem that I encountered was getting up to an area where there were no other shooters. My truck can not go up steep inclines. My poor baby has bad traction and little power. So I had to park and hike to get to a good area. When I got there I decided to load my gun. Just then Mom text me and asks if I could go to the hospital to give dad a blessing when I am done with my activities. I said I would and continue to hike to find a target. I shoot at something and walk shoot and walk. I did that till I found some pop cans (or were they beer cans) and set them up to shoot them. Well if you remember my gun holds 15 of these little babies. I loose count of how many I go through and during that time I hear this weird rattle come from my gun. Still a shoot a couple more times and notice that my bullet housing has come out (that is where you put the bullets in initially. It is a metal tube on the underside of the barrel). I try to slide it back in but something was blocking it. When I try to put a new round in the chamber it gets jammed. So I had to somehow get the jamming bullet out of the way so I can close the chamber. So I fiddled with that for ten minutes and let Ginger roam around during that time (there were no other shooters for hundreds of yards and over hills, she was safe). Finally I get it to close and call for Ginger and head back to the truck. Later that day I try to take a hammer and tap the housing tube back into place but that didn't work either. I finally dare to look down inside (the gun was pointing at my face) with a flashlight and find that these bullets and one more were jamming up the housing inside the gun. So I had to take a hanger wire and unjam them. It made me nervous to do this while the gun was pointing at me. I finally get them out and saw what I had done to these bullets. By tapping the tube down in with the hammer I split the bullet and scrapped the other. I think I am lucky to be here today to tell you all of this. God was watching out for me, like he always does.
