Anyone ever make any? I want to make some to test feed function, but I'm not sure what I should do beyond seating a bullet in a case without powder or primer. Do I need anything in place of the primer?
Wow, that is just cold! I think he wished ill will upon you!Try 2/10ths C4, but make sure you have a real good cheek weld before firing off a round.
id say your local PD should be able to tell you. they might even have some extra laying around you could have for FREEWhere can I get 2/10ths C4?
I recommend not removing the primer ... your firing pin will suffer if you dryfire without the spent primer...mark the round to identify it as a dud. Drill it, knurl it... or just use nickle. I use nickle cases for training testing ect. because I don't like loading it...It is harder than brass and it does not grip the chamber as well with hot loads. It can give you false pressure readings...it can easily scratch your dies if it is not clean. it does not like to be resized more than once...<split necks>......just my opinion.........carry onI've heard of people using nothing in place of the primer as well as caulk or rubber. I'd say just but some snap caps or something seems easier.
This. Mark them permanently so there is no confusion.quit being a sissy and use live rounds!
serioulsy tho, drill a hole in the casing or paint the bullet to identify it as a dummy
