I have done indoor ten meter target shooting, living room, with AR. using primer and .22 pellets. Quite a bit of zing and accuracy good enough to have house matches.

I have had .38spec stick in forcing cone. Have had .45 stick well into the barrel.

All in all, I think it be a not good idea to try to fire them. Pull the bullets of all that you are shure are limp and several from before those just to be safe.

Interestingly enough, I have had more factory milspec rounds than handloads stick in barrel.

Sam...iffen it ain't broke yet, let me try it.
