I've seen an extractor blown clean out of a LNIB dash 2 using Berry's plated HBWC's & 3.5gr Bullseye powder . If you insist I'd stick with a lead solid base wadcutter & limit loads to 800fps , I'd also go with a stronger recoil spring . Personally I think it's crazy , but it's your gun / body parts to do with as you please .
