Why that particular shape? There are many 7.62 blanks that are great for use; but, look differently than that one.

I use to re-load my own for reenacting and never had a problem. The style in the photo is the standard US military type blank. I would imagine you could obtain those at local gun shows or through Shot gun News. However, the war has drawn down surplus ammo to next to nothing.

My Father passed away in June. He was retired USAF and a Vietnam vet. At the funeral the Whiteman AFB funeral detail did the 21 gun salute and afterwords gave us 3 of the spent brass, since there are 4 surviving children I want to get 1 more so each of us will have one in the Medal display cases I am making.
