Hey Bigbulls, thanks for that bit of knowledge on the firing pins. The only snapcaps I have are for my 12ga shotguns. On my bolt actions I usually just hold the trigger back and lower the bolt to release the sear for storage. For my rimfires, I always save a couple of fired cases and use them like snap caps. Isn't it true that rimfires can have their firing pin damage from dry firing because the firing pin strikes the chamber (where the rim of the case would be). I could have sworn I read this in one of my manuals.
