Means serve for securing one end of the dummy body member to the floor portion of the cartridge case, whereas a further portion of the dummy body member is attached to the mouth portion of said cartridge case. The dummy body member possesses a substantially cylindrical hollow compartment having a forward portion. An adjustable trim body is inserted into the forward portion of the hollow compartment, in order to place the center of gravity of the dummy cartridge at a predetermined desired position.
