Overview

These 20 gauge snap caps are designed for safe practice with loading, unloading, and dry firing drills. Their machined aluminum body and synthetic cushion primer are made to withstand repeated cycling, while the loaded-round shape supports correct loading and feeding during practice. They are suited to hunters and other shooters who want to work on gun handling, trigger control, and reloading technique without live ammunition. This is a simple training tool rather than a field-use accessory, and it is offered in a 2-pack.
