Or rape whistles. At least they can't shoot themselves in the face with it.

I'm pretty sure you can safely shoot a 30-30 cartridge in a 32 Winchester Special though I expect a .308 bullet is not very accurate shot from a .321 bore. But, if you don't care about accuracy it would go bang and not blow up. I would be interested in seeing his groups. Patterns. Whatever he was getting.
I was in the gun shop years ago and some dude came in and wanted the "fastest powder made" to do some reloading. Steve naturally sold him a can of Bullseye. As he was leaving he said something about using it to reload 30-06. I tried to stop him and make him listen to reason but he just left. I used to think of him often and wonder what happened.
For those who do not reload, the bigger the cartridge the slower the powder it uses, a paradox. Bullseye is all but guaranteed to blow up any rifle.
even i wouldn't give that a try...
words to live by for the hobbyist gunsmith:
“All parts should go together without forcing.You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.Therefore, if you can’t get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.” - IBM manual,1925
