DRAFT: Wax Bullets, Rubber Bullets (Glue Too

For whatever reason, I'm still on a quest for a 5.7x28 "gallery round." The idea is to provide a relatively quiet, [i]less[/i] dangerous load that might open up some training options and opportunities. Cycling the weapon's action is not a requirement for this application.

Another thread in this sub-forum has looked at 22 caliber pellets and lightweight cast lead bullets.

"Red Jet" was one brand of wax bullets way back, marketed by CCI but made by Sampson Precision, Costa Mesa, CA
Speer makes 9mm/.357 and .44/.45 plastic bullets and cases.
Meister makes "X-Ring" rubber bullets in .38, .44, and .45 calibers ( http://www.meisterbullets.com/asccustompages/products.asp?cartID=&affID=&categoryid=45&navParent=0 )

Wax and parafin are pretty commonly used.

The common theme seems to be larger caliber, straight-walled cases.

So, what about 22 caliber for the 5.7x28?

Wax is probably out, unless it's strong enough to stand up to the feeding cycle.

The trick of

Crayons
Paraffin: Candle Wax (melts at 135 or 145 (or higher) degrees)
Jewelers Wax (ferriswax.com)
Paraffin: Canning Wax, Baker's Wax (melts at 120)
Carnuba (melts at 180-187)
Surfboard Wax
Beeswax Melts at 145 or higher

Hot glue is actually a thermoplastic adhesive.
Ths Faux Wax Sealing Kit may be useful for boolit casting. http://www.glu-stix.com/shop/page/product_detail/Product/30fa1672a89905196899ec47e3f2156e.html
