how do you fire a lead bullet, get the rifling marks, and not deform the bullet in some way? especially at the short distances reported. You might do it into water, but not dirt or sand. What about flesh? I might bid on one of these, but am interested in the potential for fakery , exageration or inaccurate reporting?
