That's like asking "Which car works best?" - works best for what?

Hey i just got a great idea, when i was thinking that hot glue is very good for all sorts of casting, then i got the idea to cast my own hot glue ammunition, and also searched the web for hot glue bullets and i found real homemade firearm glue bullets, that could be used even inside
