    Nov 5, 2010 - resin ammo casts? #1

    Does anyone know of a place that sells resin casts of various types of ammo? I'd like some to scatter with my fallout display but i really don't want to try and make them by hand out of wood since I don't have a lathe.

    Search Brownells.com for "Ammo snap-caps" or "Saf-T-Trainers" Not sure how well they'll take paint however. Better bet is if someone here does reloading and can just load you some primerless & powderless cartridges

    or see if you can just get empty shells, and then you just have to make the bullets.

    Most inert shells used in films are recycled spent shell casings with a slug and such inserted. A bb or ball bearing is normally inserted in the cavity as a tell tale its inert. Short of anything else, check some airsoft shops. I know they sell dummy shells for the Colt, AK and larger machine guns as well as shotguns.
