The ultra velocity round in the USP don't eject until I get to about 
80-90K power factor.  John Schulte and I had a good laugh over this new 
'assault' type of action.  Looked like something you'd see in a bad

DA>It would be very risky, in my opinion, to go outside of standard

all operations of the shooting of the gun.
I've put hundreds of hours into working with these loads. (Many of which
BTW are _within_ parameters, just even safer than normal.)
