12 ga dummy rounds?

I've been looking for some 12 ga dummy rounds for reload drills and the Fiocchi are out of stock or discontinued everwhere I've looked.

Anyone know where I can find an equivalant or how to safely make my own?

I like the "A-ZOOM" brand sold by Brownells, Midway or Optics Planet. They are a little pricey but they are weighted correctly and will not break.

Know any guys that reload? Have a clay target club in your area? (stop by the club and ask if anyone reloads – its a safe bets that someone does). Have someone load up a few rounds using spent primers and you've got dummies.

saf-t-trainers is what I use. High visibility, but won't chip like the cheap ones. They hold up great.

Thanks for the link
Are they weighted to approximate a loaded shell? I can't tell from the description on that site.
I want them to do reload drills and would like them to be close in weight.
