There's a difference between 'can' and 'should'. Fire forming brass is generally done with a reduced load, and using a soft lead bullet is recommended. Using factory ammo is OK in an emergency, But the Experts (George Nonte states it categorically) That using factory Magnum should be avoided because of the likelihood of gas blow-back. The greater difference in case and chamber, the greater the possibility. The same situation holds true if your intent isn't fire forming, but actually hunting, as there will be a significant drop in pressure, and ballistic accuracy. Not so much a problem poking holes in paper, but a charging Rhino may have a negative impact on your shorts.
