Re: Do 22 wmr snap caps exist?

I've never seen rimfire snap caps that duplicate the functionality of centerfire snap caps that you can reuse over and over. Every rimfire snap cap I've seen is made out of a material that gets damaged by the firing pin which makes sense because if the material was soft enough to not get damaged it probably wouldn't play well with an extractor.

Thanks folks. @sikacz, my understanding is that the size differences make it risk some jamming even though it's just snap caps. @offensivename, that's helpful. I'll just get more Azoom dummies then and use those, for just a couple of uses. I don't plan to do it a lot. Frankly it's more for safety when I practice safe release etc. while I get used to it.

You could make some out of spent cases. Limited use, but should work.

On revolver, not pistol - I use yellow dry wall screw sleeves for both .22LR & .22WMR as snap caps. Works for me and many others. They're cheap and just throw away when flange chewed up. Ejector works for either LR or WMR. Read reviews at link below.

The Azooms I originally bought for my 22 were expensive and performed same as the dry wall sleeve. Haven't a clue whether they would work in a pistol and feed by a magazine.
