## Overview

Tipton Rifle Snap Caps in .223 Remington offer a reusable, precision-fit solution for safe dry-fire training and firearm maintenance. Designed to protect your firing pin and barrel breech, these snap caps reduce wear and tear during trigger adjustments and storage.

## Description

It's widely acknowledged that dropping the firing pin on an empty chamber is not advisable, making Snap Caps essential for your firearms. Always use Snap Caps when checking or adjusting trigger pull. If you prefer to release hammer spring tension when storing your guns, Snap Caps are ideal for this purpose.

Review: Better than any other rival product of it's type - I bought these in 7.62x39 and 9mm (which came with 5 cartriges, not 2) in early 2014, .223 later that year, and 12 gauge in early 2015. Plus many other redundant purchase of the same cartrige over and over. Generally I buy these every time I get a new gun, in the respective chambering. They're good to have lying around for practice or checking functionality after cleaning. I live in California where the bullet button is king, so the 223 gets more use as a bullet button "tool" than anything else. I keep these in the case that I keep the respective weapon in. The 7.62x39 got more actual use than any other l which is why I'm reviewing that chambering. After nearly 3 years, one of the two cartridges broke. The red plastic finally had enough and cracked. It's probably been cycled about 200 times (I cycle these a lot). I also wish they came with more than 2. But if you plan on using these for what they're for, they work better than any other rival product. Contrary to other reviewers, I've never had issues with chips coming off without me noticing and staying in the chamber, or the primer being crushed by the firing pin. I've used a generic version of these that came in a private purchase I made, and those had really chippy plastic. That concerns me. If I hadn't noticed it, the shrapnel would have remained in the chamber or barrel and possibly caused something bad to happen when I fired live ammo. At the very least, a failure to chamber. Not worth taking risks with guns over a few bucks to get a cheaper rival product with more cartridges. Buy these, make sure to check them for cracks, what, every few months? And you'll be fine.
Review: Finally found a snap cap that works! - I've tried looking in local 'big box' stores for a wall anchor that would extract in my collection of 22 bolt guns. No luck. I recently purchase a box of 100 Hillman (yellow) anchors here on desertcart and not only won't they extract, they fit completely flush into the chambers of my Ruger rifles. I did find they WILL extract on a couple of other brand rifles, but the fact the 'rim' is virtually non-existent on the Hillman anchors, I can't see them being effective protecting the Ruger firing pins. Evidently, the latest Hillman anchors have been 'redesigned'. Today, I received these Tipton caps. They have a rim, and function/extract perfectly. Why didn't I just use a spent case? Because it has no 'point', the spent case is more difficult to insert into the chamber, even with tweezers. I never put them in a magazine and try feeding them like a live round. Note: Once you have either a spent case (or a Tipton cap) in the bbl, there is NO need to lift and pull the bolt back as in live fire. Simply lifting the bolt and lowering it cocks the action, and you won't have your snap cap leaving the rifle. I have a lot of 22lr bolt guns, and I'm constantly experimenting with trigger pull weights.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these the same size as the actual 22 LR?  I purchased a snap cap recently, but they were shorter than the actual 22 LR ammo**
A: Milcor,         These snap caps are the size of actual 22 ammo. I say that with .22 cal. ammo by Federal being noticeably taller than .22 cal ammo by Remington. These snap caps do the perfect job of protecting the firing pin during dry-firing.Dave Rogoz

**Q: Maybe a stupid question but can't you use the empty brass casings from the firing range and put in the bore to protect the camber bore and firing pin?**
A: Yes and no. Yes, if you understand that brass thins every time it is hit and you should not hit the same place twice. You can damage the firing pin. No,  if you want to load a magazine. You cannot load it with your old brass. And the used brass can be difficult to remove from the chamber. Finally using brass makes it possible to confuse live ammo with used brass. A very bad accident waiting to happen.The snap caps will break down, but are not very expensive especially from Amazon.Because of the potential problems I personally would never use used brass, too many problems can occur.

**Q: Can I use this as a .22 lr round?**
A: If you mean,  "is it a real bullet?"  The answer is no.  It is just a piece of plastic molded in the shape of a 22 LR round.  It is for practice loading and unloading.  If you plan to use it for dry firing your firearm so that you do not damage the firing pin, each snap cap will only last a few tries.  The rim breaks off.

**Q: For ruger lcr22? what is rim fire? i want to practice firing and this is a better price but...**
A: Rimfire is an actual mechanics of discharging the explosive charge in a cartridge which releases the bullet. In 22 LR ammo a strike plate is used versus a firing pin (centerfire). In 22LR it is imperative to not discharge an empty chamber which most probably will cause mechanical damage.The Ruger LCR 22 is a light weight handgun and these snap caps allow you to test fire (dry fire) your trigger and or magazines without causing damage to the weapon. I use snap caps in all of my weapons when "dry firing" to  prevent any possible damage. I hope this helped? Garwa

Made the right choice with this one. Works well and seems durable. Only wish it was available in my preferred color. Decent enough.
