You can shoot exposed lead bullets through an Octane? Had no idea, and I've got one of those. Still though... cast bullets and a 500-600 can + 200 for a stamp, ballsy move.

The way the Octane is designed, lead bullets are completely fine and won't hurt anything; you'll just have to clean it more often.
A coworker of mine was talking with an SWR rep and the rep suggested shooting .22 through the Octane 9. My coworker pointed out that you're not supposed to shoot lead bullets through a center-fire pistol can, and the rep said it's fine with the Octane; he pointed out that it's basically a bigger version of the .22 Spectre silencer.
So we tried shooting .22 through his Octane 9 and it was quieter than the Spectre or any other .22 silencer we had ever heard. And when it came time to clean it, it was easier to clean than a .22 Spectre with the same number of rounds through it.
