Dummy Loads for a 7X57 Mauser

Coolray · June 26, 2004, 01:34 AM

Hello all,
It's good to have TFL back.

I'm needing some help. I have received a donation of a really nice 7x57 Mauser with a Lyman Peep sight system for my Hunter Education class. I don't load for this gun and I was wondering if anybody out there would load up some DUMMY rounds for load and unload practice. The primers can stay in the cases and any weight bullet would do. It's so the students can see other bolt types and how they work. Our class can pay for this, I just need to find someone who will do it for us. I do not have any componets for the 7X57. Thanks a bunch

get some "Zoom" snap caps as these are made of aluminum and paint them red. these snap caps should handle quite a bit of use

Good suggestion from steveno.
I'd be happy to make up some dummy rounds and send them to you at no charge, but I have no dies/components for 7x57 either.
If there any others you might need, let me know.

I'd buy the snap caps, but economics comes into play Most snap caps ar $8-$10 per pair. I want enought for each station to have some (20 total) and not worry about when they get lost$$$ As a State Certified Instructor we are UNPAID and everything extra we want to do is from $5 per student fees and donations
Normal expenses uses up our money. Besides I was unable to find the 7X57 Mauser Snap Caps.

I think that Midway has them and I'm pretty sure that Cabela's has them. call management and ask them if you can get a special deal on them and explain your reasons for that. who knows they might give them to you for nothing.
