Thread: Homebrew Snap Caps

Good on ya getting out and taking "direct action" dont wait for The Government to save your bush. If its goats you're seeing , they do need some firm control in the rimutakas. My only advice is if you dont want epic shootouts dont fire at the small ones less than knee high leave them for another day.

The leather disc might not absorb a lot of firing pin strike. I've bought a few commercial snap capd but they are very expensive for what they are.

Try making wooden "bullets" to jam in the case mouth. It's pretty tough trying to feed empty cases from the mag !

Good on you doing the dry fire practice. You need a thousand or so dry fire shots to get muscle memory going. Also practice reloading the mag while watching the target and dont drop the rounds on the ground.

To some extent theres no substitute for actual shooting. Paper doesn't lie. However you'll only really get enough practice if you use a 22. If you're fortunate enough to be able to shoot two or three goats or rabbits a month your skills will develop quickly.
