Hot glue bullets, AKA "gluelits"

Many moons ago, when I was actively involved on another forum, I and another gentleman developed a method of making bullets of hot glue. They are cast in standard bullet molds, lubed and fired with nothing more than a primer.

Gluelits, as we came to call them, are great for back yard fun, practice, training and small pests.

If you're interested, the link above will take you to a 12 page thread that turned into an epic story of the development of the "gluelit".

So what's the advantage of these over wax bullets?

It takes more time to make gluelits, but they're more accurate because they actually engage the riflings. Another is, if you set up to stop and recover them, they're reusable a few times. Also, IF they're properly lubed, they leave no deposit in the barrel like wax does.
I have some, for my .45 Colt revolver, that are .460 round balls and some that are different bullet designs. I've made them for my wife's .357 revolver. I've made gluelits for 30 caliber, .303 caliber and .458 caliber for my .45-70s.
If anybody is seriously interested, I can find the post on the other forum that details manufacture and loading and post it here or I can rewrite it.
