    Alternative to 12g snap caps

    Anyone got any little tricks? I was thinking of used cartridges but I have no idea if that is a viable option. I just don't wanna dish out 30 bucks for only two >,<

    Better to buy snap caps than rooted firing pins , using old cartridges works BUT old crap from spent primers can end up in barrel AND it looks like real cartridges are in the gun most snap caps look nothing like them (real ones) for safety

    I have removed the primer from rifle cases and replaced with a piece of "O" ring.
