Shooting them is not too bad.

Ghost Magnum you MUST Test Fire what you are carrying. There might be enough bullet pull with a load like that to tie up the revolver. You also need to know what to expect before you are forced to put the ammunition into use. You also need to know if the almmunition is hitting to Point of Aim or not

Your life is worth $35+ of ammunition


I fire 9 rounds for testing bullet pull. If after the first 4 shots the projectile is still in place, I will replace the spent casings with fresh ammunition and repeat firing the first four rounds. This puts the last round through eight firings to check for bullet pull
