Editing Plastic bullet (section)

== Recreational use ==
A type of reusable plastic bullet intended for short-range target practice using conventional [[handguns]] is available, designed to be propelled purely by an ordinary [[Cartridge (firearms)|cartridge]] [[Primer (firearms)|primer]].

Speer plastic bullets, the only widely available brand, are flat-nosed hollow plastic cylinders, are available in .357/.38/9&nbsp;mm, .44, and [[.45]] calibers, and are designed for use primarily in [[revolvers]], as the flat nose of the bullet does not feed well in most magazine fed actions.  The slow moving plastic bullets may be captured undamaged and reused numerous times if a suitable backstop is used.  For use in revolvers, [[.38 Special]] and [[.44 Special]] versions also include plastic cases, which can be primed and de-primed by hand with minimal tools.  For other calibers, standard [[brass]] cases are used.<ref name=speerbullets>{{cite web |url=http://speer-bullets.com/default.asp?s1=3&s2=8 |title=SPEER Specialty Products |publisher=Speer |access-date=29 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410064849/http://www.speer-bullets.com/default.asp?s1=3&s2=8 |archive-date=10 April 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
