Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I've heard of folks using .22's to train the horse. Much cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caladisi kid Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Use low velocity RAM SET 22 cartridges for blanks, available from most hardware stores, Home Depot, Lowes's, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Roper Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 We would start out with hand made primered only loads, then 1/4 loads, then 1/2 then full loads. Just remember you have to make the primer pocket hole bigger or the primers will back out and lock the gun up. And you can't reuse these for regular CAS after you enlarge the primer hole or I think Starline used to sell the blank brass. We used Jim Shockey 2F if I remember and put a punched out piece of cardboard on top of the powder to keep it in. I forget what size the paper punch was, it's been awhile. We did NOT use wax or any other kind of material over the powder other than the paper because it will become a projectile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I used to fashion my own blanks using a Lee loader kit. As mentioned above, drill out primer pockets and use a thin cardboard disk to hold in the powder (think playing card thickness). Experiment with light powder charges to reach the loudness you want.
