Best way to pull 22lr bullets...

Well now. This will do nicely!! :-D
So I put some 35gr Varmagedon over 3gr of universal. Results were... spectacular!
I just made five rounds of the the 3gr and five of 2.5gr.
I fired a 3gr into a stack of paperbacks to check penetration. It was still subsonic, as there was no "crack" like that of a 22lr to be heard. It went just over an inch deep and expanded violently despite the the lower velocity.
Front and back.
It seemed a bit much, so I went to the 2.5s. Even quieter. The 5 rounds grouped at about an inch and a half at 25 yards. Minute of grouse. Good enough. Done for the day.
Then I decide to fire off the rest of the 3gr rounds just to use them up... and that's when something unexpected happened:
Four rounds. 25 yards. One hole. I was shocked. 3 crudely measured grains of pistol powder, and a bullet seated with a used lee "mallet" loader. I'm a happy camper. I can hardly remember why I started this thread, but I'm pleased with the results anyway
