Welcome back sir! For the short line, it's nice to be able to shoot the more pleasant ammo but in my Ballgun, 50 yard loads have to have some mojo to 'em to shoot well.

I've heard of it done in smallbore rifle but can't recall what the results might have been. Sounded to me like an experiment just to see if there might be an advantage of any sort. Never heard of anyone trying it with pistol ammo.
