Carlson's Choke Tubes 00106 Snap Cap Wool 20 Gauge Wool with Aluminum Base 2 Per Box

Snap caps are one of those essential tools that every shotgun owner should keep in their kit. The Carlson's Choke Tubes 20 Gauge Snap Cap Wool with Aluminum Base 2-pack gives you a safe, dummy round solution for dry-firing practice, function testing, and chamber checks without risking damage to your firing pin or breech. Whether you're working up loads at the bench, cycling your shotgun's action to ensure reliability, or just getting familiar with your gun's mechanics, snap caps provide the protection your firearm needs when live ammunition isn't required.

Built with wool dampening material and a durable aluminum base, these snap caps are engineered to absorb impact and protect your shotgun's internal components during repeated dry-fire cycles. The 20 gauge configuration matches the bore and chamber of standard 20 gauge shotguns, making them a straightforward addition to your reloading or practice supplies.

Snap caps aren't just for reloaders—hunters and sport shooters use them year-round for pre-season gun checks, safe function verification, and training drills without consuming ammunition. Keep a pair on your bench or in your gun bag; they'll pay for themselves the first time they prevent a firing pin strike on an empty chamber.

Key Features

• Wool dampening core absorbs impact and reduces wear on firing pins

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a snap cap and why do I need one?

A snap cap is a dummy round designed to safely absorb the impact of a firing pin strike without firing. They protect your shotgun's internal components during dry-fire practice, function testing, and chamber checks—situations where you need to cycle the action but don't want to fire live ammunition.

Will these snap caps work with my 20 gauge shotgun?

Yes, these snap caps are specifically configured for 20 gauge shotguns and will function with standard 20 gauge chambers and bores.

Can I dry-fire my shotgun without snap caps?

Dry-firing without snap caps or a specialized catch device risks damage to your firing pin and internal breech components. Snap caps provide the cushioning needed to protect your gun during repeated dry-fire cycles.

What's included in the 2-pack?

You receive two snap caps—enough for testing both barrels on a double-barrel shotgun or keeping one at the range and one at home.
