I have been advised not to dryfire an .22 autoloading rifle as the firing pin would strike the chamber causing burring on the chamber face. However, this is frequently unaviodable as my rifle does not have a bolt hold back feature after the last round has been fired. As I concentrate on every round fired, I frequently lose track of the number of rounds left in the magazine and end up dry firing at least once with each magazine of bullets.
Are there .22lr rimfire snap caps available to solve my problem?
If snapcaps are not available, can I simply load an spent .22 cartridge as my last round so that it will act as a jury rigged snap cap?
