Why does everyone always assume that the only ammo in the world are factory loads?

Don't everyone get so negative because a person uses a large-bore weapon. Hell, the M-29 is wonderful with a 3/4 load, very authoratative and not at all bad on the wrist. Even in a 3/4 load, it'll do the job.

Also, for safety, you can use pre-frangible rounds. My fave has always been the Glaser Safety Slug. Even in .308, there is no penetration through a second layer of sheetrock. I don't know if Glaser makes a round for this yet, but they probably will. I used to buy them in .45, .308, and .380. It was a comfort to know that if I had to use the backup, that making a torso hit with a .380 was a killer.

There are a couple other rounds with very low penetration past a second surface. Offhand, I don't remember them now, though.
