Author Topic: Dummy rounds needed for photo shoot (Read 893 times)

JJHACK · « **on:** February 24, 2003, 06:28:17 AM »

My current article for the magazine is comparing the performance of various handgun cartridges on big game. I have seen hundreds of game animals killed with all types of handguns but I have never owned the guns. They were always clients using their own guns. Now I have a need to line them up and provide a compartitive photo in my article.

Sooooooooooooo if you're a reloader who can send me a dummy shell for this, I would prefer not getting loaded ammo unless it's the only way. I don't know what I can provide you in exchange except a copy of the article in return Email? Here is the list if anyone feels the need to contribute to this.

.38 special
357 magnum
40 S&W
10mm
41 magnum
454 casul
480 Ruger
500 any brand

Did I miss any? I have a .44 mag so they are easy. I have a selection of rifle cases I have amased over the last 20 plus years but never did the same thing with Handguns for Photo use with the magazine. I know some of these are easy and I may be able to get them local but if one of you guys has a loading bench and several of these it would be easier to just get this done in one swoop.

Yeah, that's a good one too! Have you got a dummy shell without powder you can send for the picture?

If so send it to:

Jim Hackiewicz
44229 SE Mt. Si Rd
North Bend Wa. 98045

Thanks for the good suggestion.
Jim

Thanks guys, I have all the shells I need or they are on the way. I wish I could thank those of you in person in some way. I only realized today I recieved these shells from people with real names and it's hard for me to figure out who some of the "nicknames" belong to with the real names on the return addresses.

I hope you know how much I appreciate the effort you all made! Thanks Again.

JJHACK: How about the 400 Cor-Bon? Mikey.

Well, I don't have one and have never seen it used. It would be interesting to add to the line up if you want to send me one for the photo. I need to make this Photo submission go pretty quick now with what I have so if you can get it to me in the next week that would be great..
