Reply With Quoteits gonna be melted glue by the time it leaves the barrel
I was thinking about trying to shoot a hot glue bullet out of my 270, but i have a question: will the regular CCI #200 large rifle primer be enough of a charge to shoot the bullet out?
its gonna be melted glue by the time it leaves the barrel
are you saying this from experience? Usually people who do this use a lube on the bullet to avoid this, but ive only seen glue bullets like this done in pistols, never rifles
no, just thinking outloud i guess. Never heard of shooting glue.
well in a pistol we should shoot soap bullets. When you get a real thin bar of soap just push the primed case through and you have a mouse bullet you can shoot inside. Safety and common sense are needed.
Over at the cast boolit forum, they were talking about using a hot glue gun to fill the cavity in a mold with hot glue, trimming off the sprue for a reusable practice gloolit.
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
I would think the hot glue bullet wouldnt have time to melt before leaving the barrel....
Use only a primer as the propellant.
At the temps hot glue melts at, I predict a mess!
I dont think so, I belive in cowboy action shooting they use wax bullets..... and I have seen some peel-n-stick paper pasters you put on the bottom of a bullet that glow so you can see where you are shooting.
Obviously with sustained heat hot glue, wax, and paper will melt/burn, but in the time it takes for it leave the barrel? I can take a sheet of paper and pass it over a candle flame and it doesn't catch fire, even though its in the fire for much longer than a bullet would be exposed to heat coming out of a barrel....
Wax, hot glue and plastic bullets have been around for a long time. Mostly used in pistol shooting though.
You may need to use a magnum primer to get reliable rounds out of a long barrel. As long as you are careful about where you are shooting you can't hurt anything.

Do a search-some of these fellas are using hot glue in their molds to obtain and shoot "glue bullets".
