I asked the same question recently here and I was refered to this site: http://www.pistoleer.com/azoom/pistol/
These are 9mm, can't say about the .30 though

I can't say anything about the quality yet since my order is still underway, but the people here in the forum said these were good snap caps to use.

I've had some problems with A-Zoom 9mms, slightly too long and jam in the chamber throat. I have never seen any commercial 7.65mm Luger snap-caps.

Take an empty case, remove the (used) primer and glue a piece of rubber (eraser) in the recess. Stick a round in the case, give it a distinct color just to be able to see it's a snap cap and you're good to go.

I've used a bit of epoxy in the primer pocket rather than an eraser. Lasts longer and still soft enough to cushion the firing pin.

Good idea. That got me thinking. How about a snap cap with a small bell mechanism inside?
Would be nice to hear the gun do a soft 'ping' every time you pull the trigger :)

I have this brand of snap cap in several calibers and have not had any probles. I just would like to find snap caps in 7.65X53 Mauser (AKA 7.65 Argentine or 7.65 Belgium) and also the .30 LUger.
