    30 luger snap caps

    Where to find them? Need good 'snap caps'.
    Thank you

    Highly unlikely you'll find any of 'em. That cartridge is decidedly unusual. You might be able to make a few out of a spent cartridge and some pencil erasers.
    Spelling and grammar count!

      Done that! Erasers don't take many hits from the firing pin before they crumble.

          Make a dummy round and fill the primer pocket with silicone RTV. Works for my rifles and handguns.

            I 2nd the silicone sealant/RTV solution. I can barely tell the used caps I've made from unused ones. The RTV is resilient enough that there is no impression left by the Firing pin.
