Genuine Once Fired 223 / 5.56 Dummy Rounds — Brass, Nickel & Steel Variety Pack, Qty 6
Most .223 / 5.56 dummy rounds come in one material. This one doesn't. This 6-piece variety pack gives you genuine once-fired inert dummy rounds in all three real-world casing materials — brass, nickel, and steel — side by side in a single order. Brass is the standard gold/yellow casing, trusted for over a century. Nickel has a polished silver finish and corrosion-resistant coating that's immediately distinct from brass — and one of the most searched casing finishes. Steel is harder, darker, and the military-surplus choice. Each of the six dummy rounds has a new bullet seated and crimped on a real once-fired casing with a spent, dimpled primer intact. No gunpowder, no live primer, cannot be fired. The fastest way to see — and feel — the difference. Free shipping on every order.

FAQs
What's included in the variety pack? 6 dummy rounds total — 2 brass, 2 nickel, and 2 steel casings, each with a new bullet seated and crimped.
Are these safe to handle? Yes — completely inert. No gunpowder, no live primer. These cannot be fired.
What's the difference between brass, nickel, and steel? Brass is the standard gold/yellow casing. Nickel has a silver, corrosion-resistant finish. Steel is a gray, harder material typically used in budget or military surplus ammo.
Can I buy more of just one material? Yes — see our single-material listings for brass, nickel, steel, and dirty brass dummy rounds individually.
Are the headstamps all the same? No — headstamps vary since casings are sourced from mixed range brass.
How can I confirm these are truly inert? We offer a free shake-verification upgrade on request — just contact us the day you place your order and we'll add a BB inside each round. A quick shake will confirm there's no powder present. Available at no charge.
Are snap caps and dummy rounds the same thing? The terms are often used interchangeably — in practice, most people mean the same thing. Technically, "snap cap" was originally a trademark of A-Zoom referring to a purpose-built training device with a spring-loaded primer cup. A dummy round like this one is made from a real once-fired casing with a new bullet seated and crimped, and a spent, dimpled primer intact. For most purposes — dry fire, malfunction drills, firearm familiarization — they work the same way. →
