It is amazing how strong the 9/16" marbles are...I've actually wondered if they have a bit of polymer mixed in for strength but not at a half cent apiece...I've never broken one...I've thrown them down on a concrete floor as hard as I possibly can and they just bounce back up in the air a few feet...never broken one.

Also amazing how accurate they are ina .58 or .62cal...you can pick off empty .12ga hulls on the 25 yard line...but due to their light weight they shed velocity very fast and by 50 yards you're lucky to hit a paper plate...so they are definitely a close range practice alternative...you could squirrel hunt with them
