I used to buy my parts off ebay but they take too long to arrive so i've approached a couple of gunshops and they are worried about selling inert ammo (minus primer and charge but with the "bullet" tip") as it may upset the police.
Surely (i assume) inert rounds are not illegal especially if they're intended for keyrings, although i can understand the gun shop's point of view not wanting to sell inert rounds to anyone that walks in claiming they are for keyrings.
any advice?

Oh yeah, I'm in Australia. thanks heaps for all your help so far. The world sure is a different place - i remember being able to get 'parts' when i was sixteen was much easier than it is today!

My advice to you is to contact a hunter friend of yours, tell him you will buy your bullets from him( just as long as this is what you are doing with them, and not stockpiling bullets for a war)
Seems like the most innocent question can get a person into a lot of trouble, because the way the world is.
Make your key rings big enough that they wont fit into a barrel gun( I am joking). But You can see the implications of this, right?
good luck to you
I feel you are sincere about being an artist. Making things is artistic.

I've carried a .45-70 cartridge with used primer and bullet inserted on my keyring for years without ever having a problem. There are dozens of places you can order cases and bullets online. I don't think you'd have any legal problems since the round isn't considered "live" ammo. I made my own btw. About 20 years ago.

It's legal here....don't know what the problem may be...probably think they are being checked on by the ATF and are afraid they may get busted for something.
