Cowardice is often disguised as wisdom. Foolishness is often disguised as bravery.
I recently developed subsonic loads for my .308, completely off the charts, totally uncharted area that required case modification and loads under 30% of case volume without a filler...In the forces, we were tasked to destroy unexploded mortar shells on the range, these have piezo electric detonators that could initiate with the change of temperature caused by a shadow, we had to place the c4 on them and BIP, those things were scary...this? Not so much. Albeit a useless risk indeed though.
