I'm going to guess that most of you knew this already, but for the few who weren't aware -
I mail-ordered a package that was labeled by the manufacturer, as "Action Proving Dummy Rounds/Snap Caps." I didn't see a difference between dummy round and snap cap. When they arrived I noticed a warning to the effect that if I use them as snap caps I will deform the heads to the point they will not be usable.
It is my error. I didn't read the description closely enough. I have snap caps in other calibers and I guess just lucked out when I bought them and didn't choose "dummy rounds." Maybe someone reading this will be warned to avoid this mistake.
