Dummy shot shells?

[Unregistered_]

Anyone know where I can buy dummy shot shells? I tried to order some from Brownells, but they wouldn't ship it...

Basically, I am looking for some 12ga 2 3/4 shells, loaded up with 7.5 shot, with no powder and no primer...

If anyone can help me load some up, let me know

Why not make your own? Simply leave fired primer in. put cornmeal or Cream of Wheat in, wad, desired shot and crimp. Also paint or felt mark the hull to denote a dummy round.

How would I crimp it?

Don't load shot shells, don't have any of the required tools...

You tried to order from Brownells ?
Did you tried WSS or Cabelas.ca ??
Why not order snap caps from one of the last two companies mentioned?
Seeing as you do not reload that maybe an option for you, next is a posting on the EE asking for what you are looking for specifically.

fire off a couple shells of the brand and specs you want. then cut open new shells of the same brand and spec. load a fake powder into the shell to take up the same space. then load the wad and shot into the fired shell from the new one. then take some time and you can bend the shell back into a decent looking crimp. some hot glue to help it stick in the center will keep it there.

and if you want to go a step further punch out the spent primer and fill it with hot glue then cut it flush to the bottom of the shell. now you have a proper dummy round to "dry" fire with. if the glue craters to much simple add and cut more glue to it.

I can't vouch for these guys since I've never dealt with them before, but it might be worth a look:

Been looking for some shotgun shells to practice reloading, just ordered a pack of 10.

I'll let you know how they work.

Have a shotshell reloader make you some. Pretty easy just use something like black pepper for powder if you want a see through shell to look realistic.
There must be someone here who is close to you.

I loaded some up for someone else here, so if you are looking, let me know what you want. I have just about every hull color, and even paper, and can make them as real as you want.
