    The Old Western Scrounger used to have a good selection of obsolete ammunition.

    Hello Bubba, thanks for answering.
    I can not find anything on their website relating to these gauges.
    I keep looking.
    A greeting

    I know it's probably nothing you want to hear but, there's a guy on gunbroker who has one 18 gauge dummy collector cartridge and one 18 gauge brass case. $25.00 buy it now for the dummy cartridge & $15.00 buy it now for the brass case. can't find anything at all on a 30 gauge.

    luck to ya & have a good'en, bubba.

    Hello, bubba.
    I have found it !! EUREKA.
    gunbroker.com page and the seller is Buckstix having these prices you say.
    But the pods are manufactured by Rocky Mountain Cartridge RMC and its website offers a pack of 10 units to 75 dollars.
    See if I'm lucky and I can get.
    30 gauge fails for later.
    Best regards and thank you very much for the information.

    I'm not sure on the dimentions of 30 Gauge, but maybe you can make them from some type of rifle brass, like .303 British and 9.3x74R can be made into .410 Bore shells. Just something to look into.

    Hello Cawboy Dan:
    30 gauge measurements are here. http://www.municion.org/semi/30.htm
    I have no weapon to shoot them, it's just for collection.
    Thanks.

    In that case, my idea won't help you. You need a gun in the caliber to fully straighten out the walls. Plus the cases would have the wrong headstamp. Good luck to you.
