Looking for .375 Dry Fire Cartridge

[Nomadx2]

I am looking for dry fire cartridges for CZ500 .375 H&H. Want to be able to regularly work the action and pull trigger. Any recommendations where to find?

I use A-Zoom as well… have them for several of my rifles…

I load my own to the overall length (OAL) and with the same bullets as I will hunt with. I crimp them pretty hard since they will likely be chambered with authority! I use a hot glue gun to fill the primer pockets. Do easy identify as inert dummy cartridges, I either first drill four holes just above the belt, of add a hundred or so BBs so they rattle!

I did something similar for my 416 Taylor since I couldn't find snap caps for it at the time I was looking..

crimped in a bullet tight... super glued a piece of pencil eraser into the primer pocket and then used a black sharpie and "painted" the entire body of the cartridges (made 3 of them) so that they were easy to identify as dummy rounds..

Here are some .458 Win snap caps I made for my Heym double rifle.
To make it harder for me to reload, I loaded some TSX flat base bullets upside down.
-- If you try this, make sure the bullets are at least a few thousands of an inch of lands.
I filled the primer pockets with hot glue.

For my snap caps I use brass that the primer pockets have loosened up.
If the glue in the primer pockets gets beat up, I just get out my 30 year old Parker Hot Glue gun!

PS: I could make these a lot prettier by tumbling the brass and building a drill jig... It's next on my list of chores!

I did similar to Dave and Mark, loaded some empty cases and coloured them with a marker. I found the bullet pushes into the case no matter how hard you crimp so I cut a wooden dowel for each that goes inside the case and is the correct length to stop the bullet and glued them in. Now i just need to add the glue gun primer !

Hot glue gun... I like that! In the past, I've used either a piece from a sheet of rubber I found at the big orange store, punched with a canvas punch, or a chunk of hockey puck. A nice solid piece of eraser could work too, but the glue gun sounds much easier. I also both drill holes and use BBs. Maybe not 100, just a few. But the last dummy I made was 6.5X54, so it doesn't take much to fill that case! Just enough to make noise.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions!
