Shoot it anyway. The worst thing that can happen is a rim will get ripped off.

You have a cleaning rod to punch the case out.

Any of that ammo you have is fine and dandy.


A rim getting ripped off and the need to clear it with a cleaning rod during a gunfight in your home does sorta seem like one of those "worst things that can happen" situations. I think he wants to make sure that isn't likely to happen before he loads the ammo for self defense. Personally I think it will be good to go in his weapon, but it is his salvation to work out and he needs to do what gives him confidence.


If you haven't tested it in your weapon, you shouldn't be using it for self defense regardless of what the manufacturer says about it.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
