Just made up a small batch to shoot out of my Contender.  Any of you guys ever do any experimenting with these?

Ummmmmmmmm can't say that I have no.

They're great for shooting in the basement.  Powered solely by a primer.  They work well in a revolver or single-shot.

Most people who do it, or use rubber bullets, drill out the flash hole a bit wider and use brass that they specifically keep for wax/rubber loads.

they were popular back during the 1950s, people used them to practice cowboy quick draw

guys were shooting their leg, so the ammo companies loaded wax bullets

My friend makes them for his 686, shoots in the basement.

I have shot them indoors before, they are fun...

I use a wax plug for fireforming brass but I put 10-13 gr of Unique behind it



Never tried it for 'gallery' ammo

My best friend and I used to shoot his .22 in his bedroom by pulling the slugs and jamming the cases into a candle to replace the slug with wax.  Our usual target was an old Army mess tin.  If you put a BB on top, it will go through three layers of plaster and lath and a layer of cedar siding.  Don't ask me how I know  I'm lucky to have survived childhood.

I shoot with the wife in the garage all winter with them.

Cheap and easy to do.  If you don't open the flash hole to about 1/8 inch, the primer will set back and tie up your revolver.

You can catch the wax and remelt it for later shooting if you do enough.

I kinda want to try this in my 1911 right now.
