I've been using the A-Zoom models almost exclusively since I had a Traditions part company on me one evening. Most unsettling to see something go zipping across the living room(gave the Pom a moment).

A while back, I picked up a tray of .22lr at a gun show, only to find that the ammunition was dummy rounds. Works well in my .22lr rifles and pistols. If anybody would like some, drop me a line and I'll send some out.

I do have a question about snap caps is there a number of times they are good for? Or after a number of times using one is it wise to throw it away and put in another one?

They work well, but I recently had a 12 gauge snap cap crack in half inside the barrel, I'm out $5...lame..

Was it an A-Zoom snap cap?

Im not sure what kind it is but here is a pic of it

Snap caps made with pencil erasers and such offer no protection to firing pins. Buy real ones.

Those are garbage...get the A-Zooms!

I have a revolver with the firing pin attached to the hammer.Do I still need snap caps,as it seems like I wouldn't need them?
