I use the A-Zoom Snap Caps. They are durable and very useful for practice excesses and function checks. I have used other brands that were made of plastic and they just did not hold up, especially the 12G shells. I use these as well. +1 for the above comments. Use the metal Zoom caps. I have used the orange and black plastic ones 12ga and pistol and the rims get chewed up very quickly. I actually thought I had a malfunctioning 870 once and it was just the crappy dummy rounds. I would imagine the extractor would chew up the rim on the rifle round also. |

Would the Magpul dummy rounds work? Putting one randomly in a few magazines while shooting seems like good practice and I already gave some of the magpul dummy rounds laying around. Avoid the Magpul Dummies. The plastic round is pure junk that will jam almost immediately. Soft material and no mass to emulate a real round. A-Zoom or make your own. |

I witnessed an A.D. with a home made "dummy round". Go with the A Zoom snap caps. The point of home made (as I. I deprimed, sized, and trimmed a case, then seated a bullet with a LOT of crimp) is that they are visually like live rounds. They shouldn't be used for anything but action checking with no live rounds anywhere near, or for malfunction drills with the weapon safely aimed downrange. How could one have an AD with a dummy round, anyway? |
