Cowboy Blanks UPDATE

***Thanks to all for the help, shot the first batch over the weekend and all went well.

Recently I recieved a hand primer and was wondering how I could use this to make some blanks for the SAA .45. No powder charge just the primer, is this possible, not too concerned with making a lot of noise just want to get the grand kids used to the noise.

Make sure you enlarge the primer holes a bit otherwise the primers will set back and tie up the gun.

If you ever reload though DO NOT use these cases with enlarged primer holes for normal reloading with powder and bullet. Would change the ignition of the powder and possibly cause higher pressures.
