I'd shoot a few out of an old gun I dont care about first. Check velocity and function etc. Then good to go.
I bought the hammer thing
hated it
If hi-point made a 357, I'd consider it. I'd be using a 20 ft string attached to the trigger and stand behind an embankment just to be safe.
Thanks,
I am pretty anal about checking, double checking things.
Unless that first shot blows your hand off. Or an eye. Or anything else
I probably will have to shoot all of the .50BMG reloads myself.
TheDevilHimself was looking for such a while back.

I posted last in that thread.
Interesting.
I have 458 .50BMG reloads that I assembled together. Was thinking about selling all of my .50BMG ammo in the future (almost 1500 rounds), but the reloads may be harder to offer.

As for the reloads, after pulling the bullets and dump the powder, Don’t forget to give a squirt of WD40 and let it soak to kill the primers before de-capping them.
1) WHY? Why not just load them with the current primers?
2) These days, with primers going for $1 - $2 EACH, you want to kill them? And BTW, WD-40 doesn't really kill them.
3) If you really want to pull them all the way down, many people here have decapped live primers without issues. Just go slowing, and do not slam the decapping pin into the primer.
