.45 for training is highly recommended. You are able to watch the bullet leave the barrel and correct various grip, trigger, and stance issues. And when you see a shot going amiss, you can run it down and smack the round down before it gets downrange. Much safer. 9mm is too fast to train with.Originally Posted by jocko

When I used to reload .38 ammo for the range... up to 200 yards or so... I was firing a revolver and wanted the ammo for shooting at 25 yards or so. I could aim for 200 yards and watch the bullet leave the barrel, go out about 75 yards and hit the dirt and tumble. I loaded some 146-gr semi-wadcutter JHP magnum loads for that range... using maximum Win 296 powder loads(I believe... a ball powder)... pretty stout. With a rest I could hit some of the bushes on the hill at 225 yards... behind the last targets.

I wonder if bits of aluminum get airborne when firing this ammo, and people breathe it in?
Aluminum is some nasty stuff if you ingest it.
S'pose it would take a lot to do any real harm. I just remember reading about why one should never use their water heater as an emergency water source, except as a very last resort (like you'll die if you don't get water, and it's the only source). But the concentrations in the water tank due to the anode rod are probably much higher than you'd get by breathing aluminum dust while shooting.

P.S. YES, that notch in the rail is supposed to be there!

On top of the mercury from primers and the lead atomized by the propellant blast, the tiny bits of aluminum probably won't matter.

Ingesting aluminum is supposed to give you early onset arthritis.
We have a lot of "distinguished gentlemen" on this forum complaining of reduce mobility in their joints.
Course, they might just be OLD.

I think that the lead and mercury will get you first.
