OK I do a bit of WWII reenacting and I am wondering if anyone here reloads blanks

I do a lot of reloading but have never done blanks

What do I need to know to get started-- a blank die at about 90 a pop but I wondering if anyone has a special recipe or can get me headed in the right direction.

Right now I am thinking of using .308 or .270 cases with 15 grains of red dot, crimped with the die

I am specifically looking for recipes that will work with a simple bolt action-- K98k nothing like a MG42 or G43.
this forum has never let me down and I know this is a specialty niche so I am willing to throw it out there.
