racquet ball court. Just sayin....

You’d need brass balls to use those rubber balls on an angry grizzly like the box indicates. Package thieves on the other hand...

I used to load x-ring rubber bullets in my .44 mag and target shoot in my backard into cardboard. That was fun, just had to pick out the bullets from the cardboard, go back inside, decap and reprime. Seat bullets by hand, go back outside and do it again.

Ive head off people using hot glue for that with a 44, did you run any powder or just the primer?

 

[Powder_Burns]

Just the primer. Had to open up the flash hole a bit too.

I just can't see why someone wants to make a lethal weapon, non-lethal. Makes no sense to me.

I would rather use bear mace than those rubber bullet at a grizzly bear. Those rubber balls seems like it might piss off the bear.

I’ve personally seen numerous people take hits from a 40mm rubber round at 10 yards or less...most people think they would go down instantly (based on TV)...nope....I remember one guy we hit twice...made him jump, left a hell of a mark and he gave up but not as dramatic as you would imagine.

The 12 gauge bean bags / rubber rounds we use to use were worse....

I wouldn’t use it for anything that I didn’t have a team of guys ready to tackle after the shot...

Thank you; that's what I was thinking too.

Those bears have a lot of fat on them. I was thinking a warning shot, backed up by something more conclusive, but...

It helps to find some affirmation.

I drilled out the primer pockets on some 38 special cases to fit a shotgun primer as a kid... a little more zip than magnum primers for firing wax bullets...

OP-
there are sites suck as AmmoSeek- that let you find instock ammo... no need to post a link to something unless it is rare or a really good deal

Thanks, I have used AmmoSeek, but often forget it exists.
