Got to be a way other than oil contamination

Is there some reason you can't use expended primers?
I had a freind of mine, make up a dozen 45/70's as a training aid to help me show the evolution from the Civil war M/L's, to the trapdoors. I had him use spent primers as a marker and load course black pepper so I could shake it and hear what would be inside. I then blued the brass case to make it darker and stand out as a "Dummy". ....

I have also made #10, 11 and musket caps, inert but have never done so for a centerfire primer. Will have to try that soon .....

Be Safe !!!
