[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 319848, member: 2736"] Most center fire rifles are designed so that the firing pin will stop before piercing the primer but it is still recommended that a snap cap or a fired case be used to minimize wear to the firing pin. In the case of rim fire guns It is "NOT" recommended because the firing pin can and does strike the breach on the edge of the chamber and will upset the edge of the chamber eventually causing difficulty in chambering. (note; There are a few rim fire rifles that have a firing pin stop to prevent this but as a rule most don't). So my recommendation would be if you want to dry fire a center fire rifle or shotgun use a spent case/shell or a snap cap. And don't dry fire a rim fire at all . Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
