[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2539607, member: 711"] I understand the inert rounds for civilian use. I worked for many years with a bunch of old retired canon cockers, and they all agreed that there was no such thing as a "practice round" in the opinion of the Field Artillery. Apparently it was considered less costly to use the real stuff for training than to come up with special practice rounds. I do recall a device that put a 10 ga slug shooter inside an artillery piece for firing on a short range. They had figured out how to make it mimic the ballistics of the real thing in miniature. Not sure how long it was used or how successfully. [/QUOTE]
