    If you are shooting 357 out of a carbine, Hodgson Lil'Gun can get you a lot more velocity out of the same 158gr or whatever. I would consider it adequate at 100 yards at the speeds you can get it up...

    I don't see why you couldn't roll them in ALOX or any similar hard, thin wax and shoot them up. Are they already sized?

    The Sharpshooter mold for #4 or 00 buck makes pretty good pellets and drops a bunch at a time. The secret is finishing them:

    I use a light wipe of Lee Alox after the patch is applied and dry. This seems to add a bit of waterproofing and eases the loading process. I don't think it's required.

    There's no reason it would not. It uses the same 406Mhz satellite network. PLB is the same technology as EPIRB, adapted to a more portable design and registered to a person instead of a vessel.
