If Ed uses the same gun in the same way, for that box of cartridges he could say his gun could or couldn’t eject them.

Then what?

My M11 might be different. I might be different. My grip lighter or heavier. My mass greater or lesser.

That was my point, you can’t use this testing concept for anything other than to say whether or not one gun will eject them or not. Held by one operator.

There’s no way for me to have any confidence that they would be light enough recoiling to not damage one of my vintage guns.



A far better way is to take an H&R single shot, and hold the buttstock squarely up against your forehead, while firmly placing the back of your head up against an incompressible concrete abutment.

The lighter loads will not allow you to see stars.

That is a far better go no go testing method.
