Carlson's Choke Tubes 00048 Snap Cap Spring Loaded Striking 17 HMR Aluminum 6

Carlson's snap caps for .17 HMR are spring-loaded, striking dummy rounds designed to safely dry-fire your rimfire rifle without risking firing pin damage. Whether you're practicing trigger control, testing your rifle's function, or running malfunction drills at the range, these aluminum-construction snap caps let you work the action and cycle your firearm without live ammunition. The six-pack gives you enough rounds to keep your training flowing without constant reloading.

The spring-loaded striking design absorbs the impact of the firing pin, protecting your rifle's action from the wear and damage that can come from repeated dry-firing against a hard surface. This is especially valuable for rimfire shooters who want to extend the life of their rifles while building skills on a budget. Snap caps also make it easy to verify that your rifle cycles and functions reliably without burning through ammunition.

Made from aluminum for durability and light weight, these dummy rounds are a straightforward training tool that any .17 HMR shooter should keep on hand. Use them for function checks before heading afield, to troubleshoot feeding or ejection issues, or simply to maintain your rifle's reliability without the cost and commitment of live fire.
