What's the best goo to put in primer pockets to make snap caps? I need to make about 4 different chamberings to hep some friends with firearms familiarization.
Silicon sealant? Gasket goo? Needs to remain compliant after it sets up, but be pretty durable as well. |

No idea what is 'accepted' but I found out that the narrow, white erasers that get put in the back of some mechanical pencils is almost exactly the right diameter. They don't last forever but seem to work for me. I'm sure there are better ways but this is basically free. Edit: Hit quote, not reply. |

Hot glue is holding up for me. I don't dry fire a lot, less than 200x on mine, and work fine. If they do dimple too much, just shoot another dab of glue on them.
I haven't had any fall out, either. Used in several bolt guns and an AR-10. I just fill the pocket and let a little bit bubble up on top, then shave it off with a razor blade, when its cooled. |

Quoted:
One guy I shoot with makes his with black rtv. He dry fires a shit ton, and hasnt had a problem. He loada his snap caps in nickle cases so that he knows they are snap caps. Do us all a favor and drill a hole crosswise through the snap cap cases. Then, there is just absolutely no doubt they are inert. I would say having a certain case color is not adequate to define a snap cap, as opposed to a functional cartridge. A pair of holes in each case does. |
