Nice video. I have done dummies the same way, but you should use a glue or pin the bullet to keep it from coming loose. I use red locktite to keep the bullets from loosing up.

It's really nice watching your series evolve.

I like to fill the case with hot glue, it gives the cartridge a little bit of heft and perhaps keeps the projectile from displacing rearward. You might consider that?

I've often employed used cases so that i don't have to worry about the primer, i clean the case as i would for reloading.

I would certainly advocate eye protection, and i always drill using a vise just to be extra safe and stable.....not just for liability issues.

Thank you. I was actually thinking about using red or green loctite just to make sure the round would not get seated deeper over time from use. Thank you for the info though.

I like the hot glue idea makes sense. Thank You.

Just find someone that reloads...have them make you a few dummys with out primers. Use hot glue in the primer pocket if you like. I spray mine with bright orange spray paint. Yes thr paint gets meassed up but it has held up well.

We did this forty years ago. Used to use either a nylon rod fill in the primer pocket or pencil erasers in place of the primer drilled the holes looked almost like a loaded round. I still have a few left.
