Reloading 223 blanks

[Backon4]

Anyone have any reliable load data for these? I am looking for a starting point to load varying charges for my golf ball launcher on my AR.

the hard part is finding blank powder

Been trying to find a reasonably priced crimp for a while. I've been reading where people are using very small amounts of cotton.

Would think that some type of wadding and a fast powder would work. The pressures are going to be way, way low so it would be very hard to damage the gun

There has to be someone who has tried this with low charges of bullseye or unique. Would be fun just to work up a load starting with a primer and working up in 1.0 grain increments. Would be willing to bet that just a primer alone would send it flying a ways.

I used to fire form .223 cases to 7mm using bullseye and toped off with a load of corn meal, then a plug of wax. Don't remember it being all that noisy though.

blank powder is very very fast what i have is orange i got it from a friend that loads 5 in 1 blanks for movies

black powder or clean shot makes better blanks than bullseye more noise

A friend of mine has a boatload of military .223 blanks. I'm sure he'd like to sell or trade some. I've PM'ed you. If interested, PM me back please.
