Theres 1000s of acres of doc land on the Hunter n Haka hills with 1000s of roos on them.You just gota walk the hills n get them on sunset or early morning.
Also 1000s of acres of private land too full of roos,just get permission to shoot them.

if a spent primer is good for say 3 other pings..a box of 20 will let you ping 60 times..... if you cant tell difference between a spent case and a loaded one...you shouldnt be near a firearm.....
no different to 5 sandfilled shotgun cases to practice shucking the pump quickly.....
and I did say in a pinch.........
I use a spent cases in the rimfire for dry fire practice.
Rimfire practice rounds are not meant to be struck by the firing pin! Go figure.

Good post by Zed on the importance of getting a .22lr to start with and build shooting skills. I’d go one step further and say a good bolt action .22lr.
Cz, Brno tikka etc that you can tune up to perform well. It improve your shooting so much particularly when you reach for the center fire

What about the lack of pointy thing sticking out of the case mouth? Iv trained all my dogs with shot gun round cut in half and all the good stuff tipped out so they just get the primer ignition crack and even so always pointed at the ground safe practice starts well before you chamber a round mate and we’ll after for that matter
When checking whether a firearm is loaded you do not see the pointy thing.
It also conditions your brain to not immediately associate brass in there as a live round.
Its piss poor gun safety practice, that greatly increases the chances of a negligent discharge Just because some people are too cheap to spend 20 bucks.
Most 22s of reasonable quality manufactured after the 1960s or so are fine to dry fire, Tikka T1x's being an exception!
