I thought this might be a good place to start on my search; I got this idea on another forum, and it really struck me as a great idea. I'm a hunter education instructor in Indiana, and am looking for various dummy rounds to use in the ammunition section of the class. These would obviously need to be empty cases (no primer or powder) with a bullet seated. I'm looking for a couple of each of various calibers to show the wide range available, as well as the similarities of some calibers to others.
The following calibers, legal in Indiana for hunting (I would prefer NON FMJ bullets in these to keep them as legal examples):
.357 Magnum
.41 Magnum
.44 Magnum
.44 Special
.44-40 Winchester
.45 Colt
.45 Long Colt
.45 Winchester Magnum
.454 Casull
.458 SOCOM
.480 Ruger
.475 Linebaugh
.50 Action Express
.500 S&W
The following examples could contain any type of bullet, as the caliber itself is not legal for hunting in Indiana:
.35 Remington
.357 Herrett
38 Special
38 Smith and Wesson
38 Colt New Police
38/200
38 Long Colt
38 Super
38 ACP
38 Colt Auto
45 ACP
45 Automatic
25/20
32/20
30 carbine
.30-30 Winchester
.444 Marlin
.45-70 Govt.
Would also appreciate ANY caliber you can offer, even if it's not on the above list. I'd also like to find some shotgun sabot/slug shells (10,12,16,20, and .410) for the same purpose, but not sure of the possibilities of making them look unfired while at the same time being empty.
So, is anyone willing to help out? If you are able to, shoot me a PM or reply here.
