Evening folks,
A buddy of mine just gave me a gang of these things, most in primed 38 brass. Also gave me the tool. I made him a few boxes of 9mm ammo, and he brought these in return.
I wasn't asking for anything, but of course did not turn them down. I mostly just want the primed brass, so I will be pulling these little wax buggers.
Is there any market for these things? There must be close to 500 or so and the little priming tong. The brass is worth more to me than wax bullets that I can shoot into a cardboard box in my garage.
I'm sure I'll crack at least one wheel off just to see what they are about.
Thanks,
Ken

The brass probably has the primer holes enlarged, needed to avoid setback of the primers when shooting powderless wax (or plastic) bullets.

I thought of that as well. Until I shoot a wheel any pop the primers I won't know however. Looking down the brass, I does not look like they have been drilled. But I cannot say until further inspection....

Thanks for the pic, Ken, now I know what you are talking about. Just never heard them called that before

In the box was a little piece of cardboard with instructions. That is what the paperwork called them. I have read about guys making them out of glue of wax, never knew someone like cci made them.
