Whenther you are making authentic blanks or live fire cartridges, the basics are the same (just most people don't double tube blanks). Check out the Lazy Jacks site for information on how to make cartridges: http://www.lazyjacks.org.uk/cartrdge.htm

And I don't remember where I got it or how much but you might check the outfit that Todd Watts does some work at.
