I have experimented with shooting soft Lead balls.
1)
a) I have seated the ball all the way down to compress 1 gr of powder. This gives 10X the power of a Lead ball in the case mouth with 1 gr of powder, but makes the same amount of noise. With 1 gr powder, there is no worry about pressure, the more the better and the more expansion ratio the more efficiency.
b) I have seated the ball all the way down to the case web with NO powder. This will still penetrate cardboard and makes lots of noise with a handgun length barrel.
2) I have chamfered the case mouth until sharp. Then put a board under the top arch of the reloading press frame. Then I raise the primed and charged case onto a section of shogun plastic wad. This cookie cutters a wad into the case. I then seat a bullet deeply on top of it. This prevents the gas getting past the bullet which can cause Leading and loss of power.
3) I have shorted a case, made a special die, and used to presses in series to form a lead ball into the shape of a bullet while in the case mouth. I did this to seal the gas at the chamber throat of a wildcat.
