Handloads.Com ForumHandgunsrubber bullets
I saw something in midway the other day and decided to give it a shot. Rubber bullets for the 357m. use a regular case and enlarge the flash hole. prime, and seat the bullet in with your fingers. really quiet, and I was shooting them in my basement. they will work really well for practice in the winter, and could serve to scare some cats away as they are non-lethal.

What did you use for a bullet trap? Just an angled board into sand, or a snail type trap that is used for indoor 22's sometimes?

I haven't tried them, but you can do something simlar using wax bullets. Melt the wax out in a cookie sheet and use the cases to cut the projectile out. Hmmm, I wonder how well a bullet made from wax in a traditional bullet mold would work...

A couple more things to try out once the garage/shop is finished.

I just used a empty carboard box I only had one that went thru both sides and it stuck on the way out. Bill jordan's book, no second place winner, he does talk about using wax bullets, and also show how to make a bunch of them quickly with a loading block. but I think that would be messier than the rubber bullets. I think your idea about the wax in a regular mold would be ok, just don't crimp too heavy, or use more than just a grain or two of powder.

Rubber bullets are nifty, but if you have a long barreled pistol they'll need a minor pinch of Bullseye to ensure they clear the barrel. Maybe 1.0 gr. or even less.

Joe. I use Speers plastic bullets for indoor practise. They work great with mag.primers.
 
Yep.. I used to play with the plastic CCI ones also. Make sure you have a goo backstop. My bedroom wall has 6 .38 caliber holes in the drywal in one spot.... oops. :)

Pretty good for the super fast double action work (AKA: Jr.High student wants to see how fast he can empty gun).

not jsut jr high students want to see how fast they can empty the gun, I tried it, just to see how fast mickulek must have been moving to do 8 shots in one second, I got 8 shots off, on target in 1.42 seconds. That guy is FAST!!! and I just gotta keep on practicing!!

He's not fast. He's not even human! He was on the X-files awhile back...there and gone, camera couldn't even catch him. Betcha didn't know that...
