With Shot shells so high now, what do you do to get that pump on?

Looking at prices on Ammoseek and non-availability at WM and other places for shotgun shells, seems like just keeping in practice for muscle memory, pumping, etc. gets to be an expensive endeavor. One thing I've done is buy dog training poppers - primed empty Fiochi half brass training rounds with primer-only. They load and cycle like regular shells and give that bang.... any of you out there done this? I just got 200 more of them for $51.94 shipped from a gun-dog website...

Gaffer1968 Gaffer1968 how loud are those shells? Just a primer pop for noise?

They're loud enough...used to train hunting dogs....let the pups chow down on their dinner when they're hungry and then let off some of these to get them used to the noise. Better to do it when they're hungry and their minds are on their food...
