fired casings as snap caps

I use a spent cartridge on my 22 bolt gun. It seems to work well. Protects from chamber peening at least.

I wouldn't bother with all that for 85 shots either. If I am dry firing I could do that or more each session. My guess is I do far more as with dry firing I really just concentrate on trigger pull mechanics.
 
Years ago, I managed to find some round nylon rods in two sizes, one just right for large primers, the other just a tad oversize for small primers. I file the end a bit for the small size. They work fine for snap caps; when one looks a bit worn, I just cut another piece off the rod. The rods started out 2 foot long; I expect to have enough to last me for the rest of my life.
