I've heard they're illegal in Canada as well, but I shoot them all the time in both .357 and .44 mag. Besides, it's illegl to use any firearm for self-defense here, let alone a handgun. (where are you from where such ridiculous laws are present?) I second the Wadcutter suggestion, but at high velocity. Seat 'em up-side-down if only sifting them along - oh, yeah, HP's are illegal. What about hollow cavities filled with priming compound- shouldn't really go there - sorry.
