Signaling flares
In the spirit of the 4th, ive decided to purchase some 37mm signaling flares from exoticfirearms. Unfortunately, the rim on 37mm casings are a little bit too thick to fit in my 40mm launcher. I tried removing the actual flare portion to possibly transfer the lift charge to a 40mm casing, but it uses black powder with a 209 primer.
My question is if anyone here has successfully reloaded some of these signaling flares with a standard copper burst disc, smokeless powder .38 S&W lift charge? Im very familiar with those as ive used them extensively in my testing of various chalk/impact rounds. Im just a bit worried about safety by just slamming a .38S&W blank behind this signaling flare.
