. Shot two rounds in a SW M60. Opened the cylinder and unloaded the remaining 3 rounds. Nobody can ever convince me BB isn’t over charged -
Are the two fired cases still in the cylinder???
If not, how did they come out? Normally? with finger pressure on the extractor rod? Or were they slightly stuck? (meaning it took more than usual pressure on the rod?) or were they STUCK?? meaning you needed a rod and a hammer to push them out???
If the fired cases extract normally, they aren't overcharged. Period. Can be, (and for you apparently is) more than you want to shoot out of a snubnose belly gun, and that's fine. But they aren't overcharged
The OP asked about the "best" ammo he can buy. All the responses jumped to the heaviest bullet at the highest speed (and arguments about if it was what its claimed to be...)
BUT, is that the BEST ammo for him???
He's not hunting (said woods carry, that's not hunting that's defensive use)
There are only two things in the woods that are dangerous enough to need shooting, animals, and people.
SO, since only hits count and only hits in the right place MATTER, is the most powerful ammo available necessarily the "best"???
He's already handicapped in the power range by using a short barrel gun. Stuffing it with the fastest heaviest bullet load, generating the most recoil possible, because the energy /penetration numbers are the most impressive MIGHT NOT BE the very best idea.
Go and get some of that Buffalo Bore stuff. SHOOT IT! Sure, its spendy but its only money and you get more of that every payday. Shoot some of the "recommended" BB heavy ammo. See what YOU can do with it. Might not be the right stuff for you.
A full power round, lighter than the BB 180s, that YOU can shoot accurately, more than once in a short time, is better for defense than a load with better numbers on paper that you can't use as well.
