Dummy rounds:
I do not make dummy rounds, a dummy should know what they are worth. I make transfers, I size/form cases for different length chambers from the beginning of the throat to the bolt face. I make form/size cases with different lengths from the shoulder of the case to the case head when determining the length of the chamber for clearance.

Dummy rounds are very useful for training and function testing.

I have a plethora of snap caps for dry fire practice in a variety of calibers that I use for dry fire training all the time. Comes in very handy with the plastic primer to keep wear and tear on the firearm to a minimum. Gonna have to check out that video. Snap caps are expensive.

I made dummy rounds for all of my semi-auto pistols, using about the same method used in the video. Only two differences are that I drilled the hole all the way through to the other side, and I used one of my presses to re-seat the bullets. Nice video.
