Yup, this is how I make my dummy rounds. Only thing that's different is that I use a spent primer because if I don't, I sometimes end up lighting off the "live dummy" round!

Use fired, but resized brass, leave "spent" primer in the brass, charge with your
specific charge & seat a bullet to your specific COAL. Why?? Because, at the
levels of everything we work with while handloading, (pressires, velocities, mass ) ????
That little charge of x.x gr weight, under the extreme acceleration & impact
of recoil WiLL, absolutely make a difference??? Just another tid-bit for your files.
& YES, in this endeavor, very small, seemingly inconsequential things can,
& most times do, make a difference..

Believe I said that?? Yup, sure did, 3rd line.
Wow, dont do that to me Sparky, had me scared for a second.
Thought I screwed up, that seems to happen pretty often these days,
A byproduct of old age I guess ??
No, getting old doesn't suck, its the wildest, bestest, "A" Ticket ride of all !!
But, for me, "being" old sure does bite
