Snap cap recommendation

[Engine4]

I've done a little research on different brands of snap caps. It seems Tiptons are the best. Have you guys found ones you like better? Any others that you like?

I only use A-zoom.

I like both but usually buy what I can find at the best price.

I only use A-zoom.

+1. These are especially good if you want to do practice with reloading a revolver or shotgun and aren't setup roll your own practice dummies.

Along the same lines, the fiocchi dummy loads seem really good for shotgun loading practice.

I have A-Zooms for every caliber I own. Swear by them.

I stopped watching at 8 minutes....another internet gun ranger.

I have used the A-zooms since 2008 and never had an issue.

I agree with ProSooter, A-zooms have never given me trouble. I have also used Magpul dummy rounds in .223 and like them.

I've used them all and A-Zooms have been the most reliable for checking cycling and dry firing. I haven't gotten to the point with any that I've seen any excessive wear or breakage, so the guy doing the YouTube must really like doing dry firing exercises.

I use mine primarily for cycle checks after maintenance and cleaning, loading up a mag with 1/2 dozen rounds or so and quickly cycling them to check manual feed and ejection, dry firing an occasional round in between. I had a problem with ejection on a new M&P10 and the S&W tech asked which brand snap caps I was using. They recommended A-Zoom, which is what I tested with.

For handgun function checks and reloading practice, I like these:

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

+1 or +2 for me - now problems. Besides any snap cap is better than no snap cap!
