I recently picked up a box of 9mm dummy rounds. They are reloaded 9mm cases and bullets with a spacer inside (I can see it through the primer hole and some of them rattle a little) so the bullet can't be driven back into the case further by hitting the ramp. There's no primer at all but my CZ isn't prone to issues from dry firing. For a few I'm going to fill the primer pockets with some hot glue and then slice the bump off flush with the end. That'll handle the guns that do have sensitive firing pins.
Best $14 for 50 I've spent on specialty tools. 50 was more than I need so I sold 1/2 to a buddy.
They look suspiciously like real bullets until you see the missing primer so I'm going to get some brass blackening solution to color them.
I've got some A-zoom snapcaps as well but I find the rim is getting pretty chewed up pretty quickly. And I haven't even used them all that much.
As soon as I get into reloading for my other calibers I'm going to make up a few of the same sort of dummies for each caliber I shoot.
