Grandma showed me that trick when I was young. Though after she put their head she would make a couple of circles while holding them. They would be out for a while.

A while back I bought a box of junk at an auction that had some 375 Win mixed in with some head stamped 30-30's. The 30-30's were fire formed to look like the 375. Don't know where I put them.
