Default Dry firing--

I need a little information here. Iv'e always known that dry firing can do damage and as a result I don't ever do it, but while showing my Ruger number 1 Tropical to my brother, he levered the action and before I could say anything, he pulled the trigger. Now keep in mind, it was pointed in a safe direction and the ammo was outside in the car. I'm just asking what kind of damage occurs when a rifle is dry fired and will just the one time cause any problems? ---------- John
