I have just become aware of a contraption that allows golf balls to be launched utilizing the grenade launcher provisions of my Yugo SKS. But I need blanks. Is there any way to handload them? Or is it not worth the trouble and should I just buy them?

You can probably find the crimp die you'd need from CH tool and die, but the powder would be a different story. Blank powder usually isn't available to the handloading public and I doubt you'd want to use blackpowder in it.

I'm sure there is a way around it, but that's all I'm saying for now.
 
Well, how much aggravation is the factory loaded stuff? Is it corrosive?

I have a bunch of golf balls and all I know is I'm not going golfing with them.

I can't help you there Dave, I don't shoot much factory ammo out of my 7.62X39s, and when I do it's for the brass and it's made in the USA.

SKSs aren't that hard to clean but for the number of them I've seen with corroded gas systems it's pretty sad.
