WTB: Old, expired dummy rolls of 16mm

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for old, expired 400' rolls of 16mm that I can use to practice loading. I'm planning to start shooting 16mm more seriously and don't want to have to worry about potentially wasting brand new film while I familiarize myself with the process.

Thanks!

Go on eBay and look at film stock. Many times you can buy 400 - 800 foot rolls for few bucks plus media mail shipping. 

16mm in Film Stock for DVDs and Movies | eBay

Just make sure to get double or single perf as needed and no VS. I bought tester reels for under $10. 

If you want unprocessed film it is very high $$. Same with white leader. But you may get lucky and someone will give you some film.

Cant you just use black leader film?
