I can't think of any 20 year old reloader (back when I was a 20 year old reloader) who did not at one time stick a primer backwards into a .45 hollow point and drip candle wax on it to make an exploding bullet... no clue if they really went off though.....
This along with cutting off .30-06 brass and fooling with a variety of dies to make long cylinder-length shotshell cartridges for .45 ACP M1917 revolvers, making wax bullets, and 100 other things "unique and new" that were/are really just the stuff that any person with an active brain and way too much free time will dream up.
Ahh... the boldness and stupidity of youth.
