VH>John -- I did a quick check.  Graff, in Mexico, Missouri (order number
VH>1-800-531-2666) stocks CB caps, at about $1.80 per 50 (Winchester and
VH>CCI.)  They also sell the Speer practice ammo -- plastic (reloadable)
VH>cases and bullets for about $4.75 for 50.
VH>If you have a .357 or .38 special, the plastic ammo would be a good
VH>choice.  This is reloadable -- you fill a box with newspaper and use
VH>that for a backstop, and you can recover and re-use the bullets.
        I have used the plastic cases for years, the best back stop I
        have found is to hang an old towel from a rod -- stops the
        plastic bullets just fine and with no mess.
        The only problem I have had is with the plastic case, a strong
        firing pin blow may cause the case rim to shear off.
VH>The only driving force is the primer -- there is no powder.  If you
VH>don't want to spring for the plastic cases, you can make your own by
VH>drilling the flash hole in standard cases a little larger (and marking
VH>the case, so you don't accidentally reload it with a full charge.)
