I cant seem to find my .22 stash after some spring cleaning and want to at least get some dry firing in and was wondering if I can dry fire it with snap caps and which ones will hold up the best.

FPNI. I have not seen 22 snap caps. Action proving rounds can be found but they don't cushion the FP.

Reuse spent cartridges?

The drywall anchors are much better, a lot easier to get in and out of the cylinder. Used shells will often be very tight and the more you drop the pin on them the tighter they'll get. Not to mention the safety aspect of using them.

@AR-180

Never heard of or thought of this. Great idea. Do they need cut you length to fit or do they drop in as is?

They fit perfectly. They will even feed from a magazine in a semi-auto.

I don't have one, but I've been looking at the wrangler a bit.

Does the manual say anything about dry fire? I wonder if snap caps are even necessary?

Not necessary on a Ruger.

I have dry fired my Ruger Single Six thousands of times with no damage.

What he said. And if you do forget to use protection, get one of these.
