I have been searching for "snap caps" for my .41 Magnum, but no success! There are plenty of these at gun shows, etc. in almost every caliber made, EXCEPT .41 Magnum.

I feel better when dry firing if I use a snap cap, to protect the firing pin and adjacent parts. Anyone know where to find ones for the .41 Mag???

You might try depriming the emptys and filling the primer pockets with silicone seal until you can find some. I dont have a newer Brownells catalog but they might have some.

I just got some 41 zoom snap caps from Midway for $20. I think I will make some next time.
