I know this is all way out there, but today as I was sorting out some brass and general post range day cleanup, I removed the 1911 that I was cc'ing as well as a few 357 mag rounds I had in my pocket. As I was sorting brass, I just decided for the heck of it, to clear the 1911 and see if I could drop a 357 down the pipe. It fit just fine!
I was wondering if... IF... theoretically, If you were to have a 357 load with a very very tight crimp, a nice soft federal primer, and a slow burning rifle powder, that if you drop it down a 1911 barrel and pull the trigger, it would pop the primer out and the powder would continue to burn, turning the cartridge into a mini rocket.
of course this is all theoretical bs and Id never attempt to try it, but wouldnt that be cool to see a self propelled fully intact 357 round?
