Making my own 45 colt blanks

If this is in the wrong spot mods, please move

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction to make my own 45 colt blanks. I have a friend that is looking to make these and was wondering how its done. Can the blanks be reloaded?

Any help would be appreciated. These are being used shooting at balloons. Go figure.

I would think charge with smokeless or black and pack a tight plug of sheet styrofoam on top.

Like the green plant kind? Is that legal for shooting the balloons in competition?

I was thinking just white stryofoam. Throwing out ideas. Sorry, I don't know anything about shooting the balloons and failed to mention that.
