This may be crazy, and is a little tedious at best, but I've saved a few .22 LR cases after a range session on occasion to use for dry firing. The revolver rimfire firing pins always strike at 12 o'clock, and by making sure an unstruck portion of rim is at the top of the chamber when loading I can get a few practice strikes out of each empty. Does anyone see any harm in this, or is there such a thing as a .22 LR snap-cap?
