When Jeremy and I started collecting cartridges as kids, Dad donated these to the cause. I've never shot any; he recalled there being somewhat of a report downrange when shooting hard targets. These are all loaded in R-P brass.

dunno, but did find a reference that bingham (reply)

Several different groups have done that over the years, the Werbell boys just start another operation and the role goes on.
I believe Mitch 3 passed a few years back
I also believe Mitch 4 and Geoff are still active in one form or another.

I found my .357 Exploders. They are loaded in Super Vel cases.

Maybe I will shoot a deer with one. It might make a deer round out of the weak and under-powered .357 as some think it is!!!

Wasn't Bingham Ltd. one of the Mitch Werbell divisions ??? Sounds like something Mitch 3 would have been involved in.

With a 2 bore rifle with exploding shells. I dont remember the outcome but I think he was in Australia, killed one or two with his 475 Linebaugh as well back when handgun hunting there was easy to do...

While viewing a cartridge collection, I saw HE rounds; (reply)

Vietnam era US Gov issue 45 ACP to CIA types. Apparently, they were quite effective.

Yes they do! Bad thing is, it's got my wheels spinning...

Maybe once availability of components starts to pick back up, I'll try some experimentation.

explosive shells on big game. It's not a new concept at all (as you know), yet it still fascinates us. :) There's something about not only "reaching out and touching something" but blowing a hole in it during the process... Hey, if it's good enough for artillery, why not for the infantry as well?

Thought I remembered having saved a box of these from back in my misspent youth days... as mentioned, they only seemed to work against a hard target. Fired into car bodies, etc., in the old dump they would say "BAP!" on impact. Needed some yardage so you could hear the impact over the shot. Large entertainment for a teenager.

The foam is old and wizened, the Speer 200gr HPs are corroded, and they weren't too mindful of how they applied the yellow paint...

Anyway, FWIW.
