Glue stick wadcutters 45ACP

[Shooter6br]

Saw an article on a web site on glue gun bullets for 45ACP. You take 1/2 glue sticks put them in a modified 45ACP case( primer hole drilled to .125 in) use large rifle primers( i use large pistol due to misfires) push stick into case( with a little lube I use imperial sizing wax) then cut flush with case using razor knife.THEN prime( if primed ahead of this step air pressure can make it hard to seat wad. i use a cardboard backstop. See aticle on Ammosmith.com .Does smell if area not well ventilated area. Shot in Sig 250 Distance 15 ft

Very cool : D


Why do you need to mod the flash hole though? I have heard of people doing it without doing that...News to me

You have to be careful you don't mix the cases with your boolit/bullet cases though...Ray

There are rubber bullets and plastic bullets available as well. These days Im not sure if I would want to waste primers doing that.

If I recall drilling out the flash hole helps prevent the primer from backing out when fired.

A lot of guys here also cast bullets using hot glue in their molds

casting hot glue bullets works. So does shooting them, even though you must MANUALLY WORK THE SLIDE!

............Check the Classics and Stickies for more Gloolit boolit shooting :-) Guys around here have been shooting and casting them for a good 4 years or so.
