This is what I use for dry fire practice in my Henry Frontier. These are for placing screws in dry wall but they are the best and cheapest rimfire snap caps I can find. I will usually will eject and turn them after 3 or 4 strikes and they usually will eject with no problem. Any hardware store will have them. The marks on the rim are from a five shot strike and a 10 shot strike both appear the same so my firing pin is not making contact with the breach face. This is something I picked up on another forum a while back.

Looks like a good idea to me!
Certainly cheap enough. Probably even have some in my shop.

There's a novel thought.
