Factory Dummy Cartridge History:
Most all “Factory” dummy cartridges are dyed brown, have no gunpowder with either no primer or a drilled inert primer, many have no primer pocket or no hole in the primer pocket and in rimfire dummy cartridges, in most cases, will have a hole drilled in the head to indicate a dummy cartridge. They are all inert, not live and will not fire in a firearm.
Factory dummy cartridges are used by firearms manufactures, gunsmiths and many firearms owners to safely test the firearm’s actions. The military also uses them for drills and parades, and some dummy cartridges may be chromed.
Any hand loaders can produce cheap dummy cartridges by not loading a primer or gunpowder into a cartridge, but normally only factory dummy cartridges are dyed brown and used for safety reasons.

History of the .243 Winchester Cartridge:
The .243 Winchester was introduced in 1955 by Winchester for their model 70 bolt-action rifle.
The .243 Winchester is basically a .308 Winchester case necked down to accept 6mm projectiles.
This was a very successful caliber as Winchester had the foresight to use a tight 1 in 10 twist in the Model 70 barrel to stabilize heavier projectiles up to 100 grain, making this a great “all in one” hunting cartridge from varmint to deer.
Still a good pick today for the one rifle home and also used in some AR platforms.
