I've got a 20mm dummy, 50 cal, 303, 30 cal and a little 9mm just for fun sitting on my credenza shelf here at work I guess this could be the basis for a new hobby ... I'd love to have more samples of the workhorse ammo and ordnance from the different countries.

What you really need is an inert 105mm training round.  My dad has one and calls it Spot.  They make a dandy doorstop.

Hey, I got a 20mm and a .50 cal too...problem is, the .50 is hot. Anyone know how to remove the powder safely?  (If anyone tells me to drill a hole, I'll let them go first. )

take it to a gunsmith and have them pull the bullet drain powder and reset the bullet (spray some WD-40 in the primer to kill it).

If you lived closer I could do it for you. I have access to a reload press for .50 BMG and it would take about 3 min.

We measure in bigger sections, frankly, because "we're bigger" if you know what I mean.

I have a 5in. powder casing from my old Ship. That thing was a pain in the prettythang to get back home in a seabag.
