learning, indoors, safely. The problem is that it doesn't work well with 9mm or .38. The larger primer, and bigger, heavier hunk of paraffin, used in the .45, "carry" a lot further than does the 9mm wax load. The wax bullet is visible in flight, and if you make a mistake on the fast draw, you have a blood blister on your leg, instead of your leg laying on the floor beside you. :-)

I've loaded them up in .41 and .44 mags. They gum up the gap between the cylinder and forcing cone pretty quickly, but it's easy to clean. Amazingly accurate out to 20 yards or so and I sure wouldn't want to catch one in the butt judging by the way the wax "mushrooms". Am sure it would sting pretty good or worse. Not something to be taken lightly and need to be treated with the respect of any round. They also have a problem with the wax slug slipping into or out of the casing, pretty hard to crimp into somthing that soft. Use them once in a while for plinking in the back yard when the camps around the lake fill up in the summer so not to bother the tourists too much with real gun fire noise. Just a heavy "POP" instead of a big "BANG".

Xring makes rubber bullets in 38, 44, and 45 calibers. They should be a lot cleaner than wax, and they are still primer powered.

I know a fella that used to pull the lead out of 22 shells, then he would jam the shell into a bar of soap filling the end of the shell with soap. He used them for shooting at house flys while inside.

Great fun for a single guy.

What was his body count, Pig? :D
