JS>VH>John -- I did a quick check.  Graff, in Mexico, Missouri (order number
JS>VH>1-800-531-2666) stocks CB caps, at about $1.80 per 50 (Winchester and
JS>VH>CCI.)  They also sell the Speer practice ammo -- plastic (reloadable)
JS>VH>cases and bullets for about $4.75 for 50.
JS>VH>If you have a .357 or .38 special, the plastic ammo would be a good
JS>VH>choice.  This is reloadable -- you fill a box with newspaper and use
JS>VH>that for a backstop, and you can recover and re-use the bullets.
JS>VH>The only driving force is the primer -- there is no powder.  If you
JS>VH>don't want to spring for the plastic cases, you can make your own by
JS>VH>drilling the flash hole in standard cases a little larger (and marking
JS>VH>the case, so you don't accidentally reload it with a full charge.)
JS>I tried these with the .380, they work well as advertised, but they are a
JS>bit too loud for ideal indoor practice.  Earplugs are a necessity, and
JS>they are still kind of loud upstairs unless you have a well insulated
JS>basement...
Yeah, they are a bit loud -- even when fired from a closed breech
weapon.
