Is barrel fouling a problem, or do you use a hard high-temperature wax?

easily push the cartridge through the block of canning wax, just uses the p[rimer, you may want to enlarge the primer hole as the recoil is insufficient to reset the primer with the original primer hole.

just found this, I just used the canning wax and had fun, there are several sites that sell wax bullets as well.

Back in the day I have used .45 cal rubber bullets (X Ring) which are still available and wax bullets outdoors in a 45 LC colt clone, 1911 and 45 LC lever. It's fun, true. But I don't have primers to spare as they are hard to find and more expensive. Also, unless primers are the lead free type, there is the lead styphenate dust that should be avoided. Don't want lead dust in the house. Sorry to be a wet blanket!

Saw an article in Guns and Ammo about 45 years ago, and they were doing just that; sealing wax (paraffin) and primers. I have never tried it.

BTW, no problem finding primers here in Canada.

I've already had my fun back in the day. Today, primers are dear in my locale.
You might look at X ring rubber bullets and speer plastic bullets. For rifle you
might want to try gluelits. It's hot glue injected into a bullet mold. The castboolit
forum has a long thread on making gluelits. Have fun Pic of my old Xring and speer stuff:

My dad was doing that for a while, it worked pretty well.

Yes, looks like fun. There is so much more you can do with a revolver than a pistol.
