Here's a company that sells the dies. They're not cheap !

If you just want something that goes bang, do a primer only load. I've seen this done for dog training, 12 gauge hull loaded only with a primer, and they are surprisingly load.

CH Die makes the special crimping die but, as mentioned, not cheap! What caliber are you wanting blanks in? Might be a military surplus option a lot cheaper.

Sorry, I didn't check the link already posted & didn't relaize it was for CH!

My kids (and about 20 more) were playing paint ball in the yard when I came home from sporting clays one Sunday evening. So I to 2 empty hulls and reprimed them with no powder seated a wad low enough to hold 2 paint balls in each hull, filled with balls and crimped. I went outside and shot the side of a old building from about 10 yards. There was enough force from the primer only to embed the wad in the plank siding. I judged that to be too harsh for playing paintball!! (Some of the boys were in my daughters High School class, so the demonstration was nowhere near a waste of time!)

Just remember, even a primer only is dangerous at close range, and people have died from being shot with a blank in a regular revolver!

I have Winchester-Western and Remington-Peters blank loads for the .38 Special. Very loud, nice bark, some muzzle flash, quite similar to the look, sound and feel of cranking off a standard or mid-range bulleted load.

I also have a bunch of German made blank rounds for the 7.62 X 51 NATO/.308 Winchester round. With a blank-firing muzzle device, they cycle just fine through an HK-91 and several inch and metric FAL/L1A1 battle rifles.

None have bee expensive.

Jimmie, what do you need them for?
