Make a dummy rd?

[siderman 1,137]

I'd like to make a muzzle tester 7.62x54 dummy rd. Other than fugging it up (or worse) with some vice grips is there a trick to pulling and re-seating the bullet with normal hand tools? I obviously know nada about reloading...

[lunker 274]

If you have a buddy nearby that is a reloader, most likely he will have a kinetic bullet puller. That is the safe way I know of to do it.

Yeah, the best way to go is a bullet puller like what Chris said. Those are about 15 bucks and is a must for all reloaders. 

 

You can also ask anyone who reloads the round if they can spare a bullet head or two and send it to you.

 Great idea (duh me) so-

 

Anyone have a spare bullet they can send me?

Also, nice to put a expended primer in...

I hate to see spent primers in dummy rounds. Maybe if you paint it, but otherwise you can't distinguish it from a dud, and you don't want to use a dud round for the purposes you describe.

Maybe drill a hole through the case to ensure you (and anybody watching) knows it's not a live round

Oh silly, silly, silly

 

If you want I'll make you a dummy  round.

 

#2 why do you need a dummy? Can't be trusted with live ammo?

 

#3 why need a dummy round at all?  How about you just throw an appropriate sized bullet in your pocket and check with that?

 

 

WTF

ok wiseguy-

#1 I can make one myself if I had a bullet but I'll take one thats been finely crafted by you

#2 need it to test the muzzle/crown as stated in my OP

#3 if I had an appropriate sized bullet in my pocket i wouldnt be asking for one.

 

so you have one or not?

Because live rounds and gunshows don't mix.

Do you want .311 or .312 bullet diameter?  Tell me and I'll see what I have then send me your address and I'll throw it in an envelope.

 

And you make my point exactly...You don't need a dummy round just a bullet.

 

 

Sorry just checked I have nothing in .311 or .312

You're SFOS.    Not the least bit true.

 

Yeah - you go to that guy and tell him you want to stick a live round in his muzzle...

 

I know that USNMars carries a dummy round for this purpose.

 

So - not FOS, and frankly, I don't like your tone.

There was an ND at a gun show recently, so yes, it sadly is true.

 

I've bought from here before and happy. There are holes drilled in the cartridge so you can't mistake for a live round. And shipping is pretty cheap.
