Drywall anchor size for .22lr snap caps?

[wildenout]

I'm sorry for this post I know it's a re-post, but I searched and could not find it! I bought some .22lr snap caps and now they're scarred (since they're aluminum) and don't sit right in the chamber. I remember seeing that there was a drywall anchor that fits perfectly (and they'd be cheaper!) and can't find it. So what size drywall anchor? Thanks all!

Hillman 4-6-8x7/8". Yellow ribbed anchors should do it!

Sweet...going to get some tomorrow! Thanks guys.

They work incredibly well.
Just don't dry fire 100 times on one anchor.

Get a big box of #4 anchors

.22LR snap caps

Guys they work Great. $12.00 for six snap caps. $4.29 for 100 drywall anchors.

I'm surprised someone hasn't repackaged them and put them on ebay as ".22 snap caps" at 5 times the price .

And where might these be found??

This is a photo of a drywall anchor with one hit from the firing pin. It dents quite easily. I usually rotate the anchors after one hit from the firing pin. This makes it so each hit has a fresh area of plastic to cushion the firing pin.

Home Depot.

They will even feed from some .22 magazines.

Nice information. Gonna bump this so more can see it.

Thank you for the bump. Never knew this.

The #6 anchors do work well if you keep rotating them but then again so do spent 22 cartridges. Either way, just don't keep dropping the hammer in the same spot.

Good to know. The wife is stopping at Home Depot store today so's I put these on her list.

I like the use of wall anchors. The blue A-Zoom rounds are labeled "Action Proving Rimfire Dummy Rounds". They should not be used for dry firing. They are designed to prove that an action (rifle or pistol) is functioning correctly. The Pachmayer .22 Rimfire Snapcaps are true snapcaps and can be used for dry firing.

Just a heads up.
The yellow ones from Ace Hardware are too small.
Grrrrr!

Not sure where I got my original batch.
Will check Home Depot.

I'm trying to remember what I did with the rest of mine.

The Home Depot Everbilt brand work well in my revolver. Won't know about their their function in the SW22 Victory till it gets fixed.

The yellow Hillman 4-6-8 x 7/8" (H# 370326) that are available from Amazon seem to work just fine. They even feed semi-reliably from the magazine of a Ruger Mk ii (and eject very reliably).
