Hey guys,
I've been loading shotgun dummies rounds for awhile. I use them specifically to practice reloads for 3-gun. My problem is that they don't seem to last very long, specifically the crimped ends tend to open up after a few practice loading sessions.
Here is how I load my dummies.
1. I use 1oz loads, with an appropriate wad.
2. I place of powder I've been using walnut or corncob media.
3. After Crimping I use epoxy to help seal the crimped end and prevent them from opening up.
After a while the epoxy seem to get brittle and break of.
Any one have any thoughts or idea on how I could better seal up my crimps to get a little better life out of my dummy rounds? I
