I guess they could be and it was fun to play with as I tried them in every 12 gauge I owned. At one point I had some money and purchased a Kodiak Mark IV in 45/70. The 400 grain bullets were to heavy and shot apart so I loaded 300 grain Speer bullets until I achieved regulation of 2 1/2 inch four shot groups at 100 yards. This with 61 grains of IMR 3031 at over 2100 fps. I have a Kodiak in 58x58 that will shoot 4" groups at 100 yards with a 665 grain REAL bullet and 110 grains of Pyrodex RS. Fun, fun.....
