Other than using erasers, what use could be filled into the primer pockets of empty cases? Bedding compound as Mac suggests, or is this just too simple?

NitroX, I think you misunderstood, The primer packets are drilled out to accept 357 Mag pistol snapcaps! The case is then filled with the bedding compound to make the cases heavy like a loaded round,as well as hold the pistol snapcap permenantly, then cut short, at about 2" forward of the rim. The weight is needed,if you have ejectors, to make the ejectors work properly. I don't think bedding compound in the primer packet would last more that a couple of snapps. Also if all you want the snapcaps for is to releave the springs, and HORN STRIKER BLOCK can be bought from Galazan (Connecticut Shotguns) for $30 US. I don't think the strikers will last too long with the soild brass/deerhorn striker block pictured in this string, but I could be wrong!
