Has anybody tried the Speer Plastic bullets, the ones you load with just a large primer and NO powder? Velocity is suppose to be around 300-400fps and with a decent backstop they are reusable. I just ordered a bunch so I could practice drawing and finding the sights in my garage.

I would imagine that the primers alone are not enough to cycle the action on an auto but I can definately see the benefits of this type of practice. You get to use your actuall gun with the same trigger-pull, sight picture, etc.

They won't cycle an action.
Issues to be aware of- some calibers have their own plastic cases, others require modified brass; need to be positive that brass is NEVER again used for "real" loads. Primer residue coats thing s up pretty quickly; they recommend a dry brushing every 12-20 rounds as I recall. Even primers only can be loud; your neighbors may not react well.
All that aside....they give your trigger time with feedback, and that is always a good thing.
