This is precisely the sort of thread where I like to remind folks (and myself) that the line between a finely crafted firearm and a hand grenade is generally very thin.

This thread makes me laugh...

... probably mostly at myself. I loaded a few of the .45 ACPs and had similar results as reported. They'd last maybe 2 loads, then split like the dickens. So I gave that up. On the other hand, I drilled out the flash holes on some, ran them through the resizer, primed them with a mag primer and punched them into a 1/2" cake of parafin. Now I have garage practice ammo and didn't have to give up any good brass. (Yes, I am incredibly cheap )
As a side note, I killed a mouse in my garage with my 1911 and one of those wax rounds last winter. 72" muzzle-to-mouse. Crushed him so bad he was bleeding from both ends.
No, I don't have any trophy pictures -- my wife absolutely forbade it. Mice I can handle. My wife, not so much.

That is a great idea. I may have to do that. I got a dirty look for the snake shoot in the wall.
