I have purchased in the past from here, a German ebay site. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Pufferpatrone...4y03XlS7aFVJBA

Sadly, when I translate this page it says they now do not ship to the USA. Doing a Google search however with the product name reveals another site:

It would appear that these red plastic rounds are available in Europe; I hope someone finds a place that will sell/ship to the USA (I have all I need from the ebay site from when they used to ship to the USA). These red plastic jobs cycle perfectly in all my .30 Luger pistols.

Some additional discussion

In the past I have also purchased dummy rounds from the link in BogeyB's post. I modified them to secure the bullet tightly by putting a little solder in then heating with a torch. Be sure to verify length is correct before you solder. Also the soldering step discolors the case but you can shine it up again with emory cloth and add a silicone 'primer' after it cools. While the rounds I purchased have a hole in the side, for safety I would suggest marking them more prominently with some kind of color. I never allow any live ammo near my workbench but from certain angles these rounds look real and that makes me a bit uneasy. One more reason I prefer the red plastic ones.
