Yes if it will feed, or use a snap cap. I throw them in my pistol mags from time to time since my Glock never has failures so I can practice.
Yes. I loaded a couple with used primers, no powder. Paint or mark them a bright color so there is never a question. You need a bullet in there BTW. Easy for any reloader to make a few up. If you ever get to the springs I can make some up for ya NC.Quote:

Good idea, I never thought about doing this. Should set up your wife's pistol too to see wht she does. [Rant2]Quote:

When loading I make a couple of dummy rounds. Snap caps are also good. Azoom ones heft like a round. The best is to let a friend load your mags. I've gone shooting with a friend doing this where there would be between none and two dummies per mag and we'd time ourselves clearing and putting the live rounds on target.
I suppose you get a Jennings or one of the other POS jamamatic brands.

So aas long as I have a bullet in a cartridge to ramp, it will load.
any other methods of failed ejections or misfire simulations?
