I have shot a lot of wax bullets. It makes good garage practice on a rainy day.
At across the room distance the poi is very close to poa.
I don't think I would shoot them at a mirror. It would likely break the mirror.
The wax would go through both sides of a cardboard box. To catch them I used a towel hanging loosely in the box. It would punch through one side and be caught in the cloth. I put two layers of hanging cloth but I never had one go through the first layer, even after shooting a lot.
Its great practice for point shooting. Its great practice for learning to draw and shoot from a holster. When I moved to pocket carry I practiced a lot from the pocket. My local range would not let me practice there.
I would pour hot parifin in a shallow pie pan till it was about a 1/2" thick and let it harden. Then on a hot day leave it in the sun till it softened, and press primed cases into the wax, wipe any excess off the outside of the case and set then in a cool place to reharden. And they are ready to shoot.
After shooting I take the bullets out of the trap and drop them in the empty holes in your wax cake and remelt. DR
