B's Dry Fire Snap Caps - A.K.A. B's Dummy's - Dummy 12 Gauge Training Caps (12 Ga Baby Blue)

These are very good, and the weight is right to mimic a 12 gauge shell. The only problem I’ve had is, if you use tight shotshell carriers such as Aridus, then eventually the brass will pull off of the shell, but this is rare. It only happened after about 400 or 500 pulls. I’m ordering more today, so I still think they’re great and the best thing out there.

I recently acquired a Benelli M4 and am starting to learn how to manipulate shotguns. These dummy rounds, while expensive, are well worth the price. Compared to the cheaper options, the weight (and the distribution of weight) is just like the real shells. It's evident that a lot of thought and engineering went into these. They feed and eject perfectly from my shotgun. I'm also able to load 7+1 into the M4 with no issues.

Basically a retrofitted plastic shell. Brass and plastic. Paper type block to keep the loose weights in. As accurate as you can get without a real load.

They work great in my Mossberg. I dont cycle through where they might hit concrete. I'm concious of letting the shells hit soft ground and thus far have held up nicely. Nice weight and feel.

As a new shooter I was looking for snap caps to allow me to practice loading and dry firing my new 12ga semiauto shotgun. Everything I was seeing was plastic or painted aluminum, neither of which I was comfortable using due to fear of chipping and damaging my gun. Then I found B's Dry Fire Snap Caps. At first I was put off by the price but I figured these are made from materials that are meant to be used in shotguns and should hold up. Then I did some math, and for 9 of bad boys, per shell you're paying about the same as a two pack of the cheap plastic ones. Yeah, it's still more expensive but they are worth it.As a wise tiger once said... "They're Gr-r-reat!" I've been loading and dry firing all day since they have come in and the only wear and tear is my arm from holding my gun and my finger from repeatedly pulling back the charging handle. They weight about the same as real loads and made from the same brass and hulls as well. B's recommends using them over a carpeted surface, and I would add open space. They will get away from you and last thing you want to do it start moving furniture to retrieve them.They only issue I've had so far is they have stopped cycling smoothly and get caught up, but I think that's more due to my arm and finger fatigue than the product themselves. They are showing a minor scuff marks but that would be expected.So far I love this product and will buy other calibers as I buy more firearms. Keep up the good work B's. You've gained a loyal customer.

These work great for cycling the action in my M2. They're too tight in my shell caddy so I'm not able to practice quad loads right now. I think I will sand them down a bit to see if I can make them fit better.

These are the best snap caps I've found: They are extremely well made and have a weight and balance that is essentially indistinguishable from live ammunition. That makes them much more realistic than competing products for practicing loading/unloading drills, testing clambering and ejection, etc. On the range they can be mixed with live ammunition to simulate misfires and practice proper clearing. They also can be used to train against anticipatory twitching and bad trigger handling. This brand is the only one I recommend to friends. (I've had various of the cheap/light-weight ones out there and they are not only totally unrealistic for drills, they can cause real problems with chambering and ejection -- guns aren't made for featherweight ammunition.)

Round cycle flawlessly and worth the money
