12 Gauge Snap Caps/ Dummy Rounds

I really want something to use as a training tool, and especially for troubleshooting. What brand would you suggest (If there's a "made in USA" brand that would be preferred) that are good quality, any ones I should stay away from? Thanks for the info!

Thanks mossy, looks like a great option. I can choose my brand, size and they would be made in the USA! Now I just need to find some pennies...

Sorry I didn't use my search function on this one, I just made a couple here at our office... didn't even occur to me how easy it would be.

I'm going try the dummy shell DIY. I have a couple of the solid snap caps to practice reloads with.

A lot of places have been out of stock on them.

A couple of retailers recently got them back in stock.
