it might. i have found that chalk works great as a target for pellet guns. it may just crack from the shock of firing but if it doesn't then it should work. the other problem is that it will probably tumble end over end once its shot

Why the f*ck would you bother shaping chalk if you could get dozens of easier, better and cheaper kinds of ammo.

Unless with a lathe it would be un uniform and take a long time to shape, its not worth the trouble. Use ball bearings, they are dirt cheap if brough in large amounts.
