HaHa why it sure is   come to think of it...ive got so many of em Ive come to think of em as a standard caliber....but H has got some off the wall stuff that you have to load yourself...cant do it anymore...that reloading is addictive...well for shotgun shells it was...daaamn with every pull of the handle a shell falls into a six gallon bucket...ive still got some of my famous dove loads...I would have to go look at the recipe...but those shells had a sound all their own,and would bring a dove down already gutted and defeathered  me and my buddy found the recipe in the Winchester book.....had to keep the shells on ice on a hot morning....          Wash

 I'm ALL for that. I'll light off suppressed loads (300 Blk) into my back yard periodically just to keep the neighbors guessing. Wondering what that "click of the action" sound was.

Like shooting coons of the deck with the .22 with the patio door cracked and the muzzle only an inch out. Crack casing bounces across the tile floor
