30 Luger snap caps

Put a short dowel or some sand in the case to prevent bullet setback when replacing the bullet.

Additionally, back when when I still trusted my competence to hand load, I made some snap caps by filling the empty primer pocket with Dow silicone caulking. Easy to do and when fully set up it made a decent surface for the firing pin to contact.
