I caught a piece of shell casing in my left cheek and it bled A LOT! Docs are just going to leave it in there. A souvenir I guess.
That is the reason why I dislike fast powders in high power calibers. You cannot get a double load with the appropriate powder because it fills the cartridge.

I'm glad you are OK. Too bad for the revolver though.
