I have been reloading .45acp with glue sticks.
I found that .44 caliber works best in a .45.
I drill out the primer hole to 1/8' and am using Large Rifle primers.
The glue stick are engaging the rifling and are very accurate to 75 ft.
At point blank they penetrate 7 layers of heavy cardboard.
At 10 feet they go strait through an empty Coke can.
They feed through the mag if I load them so ~1/8" of gluestick sticks out beyond the case mouth.
They are much quieter than just poping the primer, I can shoot them almost anywhere.
After 150 rounds I see no sign of plastic fouling, and have experienced no problems with real ammo after shooting them.
I had more fun shooting on the last camping trip than I usually have with the family around.
Anybody else try this? WAY more fun, more accurate, cleaner, and much harder hitting than wax bullets!
