Got a lot of .22's, but I know not to dry fire them or else the barrels will get damaged. I have bought plastic snap caps, but they don't last and are pricey.
What I do have is thousands of empty .22 brass (I pick it up and keep it to get a few bucks at the metal recycle) and I was thinking, "Couldn't I just use these empty cases to dry fire?"
I have revolvers and a PT22 w/ tip up barrel, so inserting and removing the cases isn't an issue like with a semi auto. My question is will doing this excessively damage the gun?
I can't think it would, but wanted to run it by others.
