Somebody suggested to me that for cheap practice with a revolver, spent casings be re-primed and pressed into a sheet of paraffin, creating a paraffin practice bullet. Has anybody here tried this? Thoughts and feedback...?
I forgot about that.. good call!Hot glue bullets made in a bullet mold work great. Some use cut glue sticks for 45, but I made a bunch of 38/357's with my Lee mold and they are reusable. I stuff the bullet all the way into the case and prime it. Fun to shoot at a paper shopping bag with a towel or newspapers inside. The bullet punches through the bag but is easily recovered and reused.
It would be better if you did not shoot these indoors or in your garage. The smoke is 100% from the primer which is Lead Styphnate. Outdoors, it's no worse than shooting at the range, but indoors, the stuff has nowhere to go but on the floor, walls or in your lungs.
