Turbo.M777 11 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I want to load some blanks for my S12. I want a loud boom with minimum debris coming out of the muzzle. Have any of you guys made something like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 You need the http://www.midwayusa.com/product/657184/precision-reloading-inc-shotshell-reloading-manual-blanks-to-supersonics-first-edition-reloading-manual. It gives you everything you'll need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo.M777 11 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Looks like its discontinued on midway, but I get stuff from precision reloading pretty regularly. I'll look and see if they have a new one available I can pick up next time. Thanks update: Looks like precision reloading doesnt have a book that says its for blanks anymore. Do you have any recipes or know of any other manuals that have recipes for blanks? Edited July 20, 2013 by Turbo.M777 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I guess my only question is what for? and none will cycle a semi... :shrug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo.M777 11 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 For cinematic purposes. I know they wont cycle, but thats okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 well, if all you want is for cinematic purposes... I am sure you could load REALLY light powder charges... not sure what you would use for wadding, as a real wad will come out of there with some force... and anything paper will ignite... anything with structure is going to be dangerous to anyone in front of it...

montec 164 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Aren't just primers loud enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo.M777 11 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I dont think primers are loud enough. they make more of a pop, not a boom. I'll probably go to the sportsmans warehouse near my home and buy some blanks. I've seen em for sale there before. I'll cut one open and get some inspiration to experiment on my own since I cant seem to get any recipes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo.M777 11 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I went and bought some factory blanks - Winchester Super X "loud report". I shot a couple and was pretty disappointed by how weak they sound. No ear pro required, and these are labeled "LOUD report," and are factory produced with a team of R&D behind em. If they cant make a blank with a powerful sound, who can? Moral of the story is, I dont think blanks as loud as a loaded shotshell exist. I cut one open to look inside. Looks like corn media separated from the powder with a cork spacer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zagumennyyilya 51 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Maybe try less corn media and more powder??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 the TRICK for a LOUD BANG is to acheive a higher PRESSURE... That's the challenge... to get a higher pressure without too much damaging media coming out the end of the barrel... otherwise, you are almost back to real shot-shells again!

Turbo.M777 11 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I recorded a short video showing/comparing the Winchester "loud report" blank to a couple shells that actually have loads. On video, it sounds almost just as loud as a target shell. In person, it is definitely not the case. I personally wouldnt feel uncomfortable firing the blanks without earpro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq1EXFc_Bc4 Edited August 29, 2013 by Turbo.M777 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
