.45 Colt Display Ammo

[Will]

I do not reload so looking for some ideas for this project. I need 25 .45 Long Colts for display in Cowboy belt.after talking to some Cowboy shooters they say

Nickel ammo ,new or cleaned with no primer.  Brass will tarnish on leather.

Round nose lead,250 grain or so..

How would I crimp with no reloader?

Tried David and several vendors at gun shows,no luck.

Thanks

Will

Redd that will do,a lot of shows will not allow live ammo in belt.

Thanks

Did the same thing years ago. This guy is a vet and bought a ton of these to put it my display belt. Actual weight and size.... Dispite his finger prints, they polish up nice... Use a polish glove and give them a coat of Renn Wax to help hinder tarnish..

Didn't see nickel in that caliber but you can ask him. He has other cal nickel case... won't hurt to ask.
