| I need to make a quantity of dummy rounds, in both pistol and rifle caliber. I have 9mm and 38 cal brass as thats what I shoot as well as 308. Ill have to buy the bullets. WHat is the most basic set up I need to make these dummy rounds? I do not need the primers removed or replaced. I guess I would need to resize the case and seat the bullet. I know very little about reloading. |

Speaking of "dummy rounds." My suggestions are...........
Drill a hole or holes into the side of the cases. Color the brass for additional visual reference. As for the primer pocket.........I'd put a dab of silicone in the empty primer pocket. Reload (w/o powder or primer) as usual. Aloha, Mark PS.........buying all of the equipment to make a few. Forgetabout it. IMHO......buy your dummies. Or, ask a "friend" to make some for you. IF, you plan on getting into the hobby of reloading...........start your reading here.......... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=263380 |

If you don't have to make too many buy a couple of Classic Lee Loaders.
Cabelas site sells 'em for 22 bucks. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0003091210526a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all_NYR&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=9&_D%3AhasJS=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&nyr=1&Ne=46&Ntt=lee&N=47&_D%3Asort=+&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=17 |

Do they make them with other coatings? |

For what your doing it might be more practical to buy ammo pull the boolits dump the powder fire the primer and reseat the boolit.
Equip required: lee hand press seating die for each size needed. Fertilize yard with powder, or dispose of it in creative spectacular way
