Puffer Cartridges (Snap Caps) for Hail Rifles - Protect firing pin & safe dry practice

Puffer cartridges, also called snap caps, are an essential tool for any hunter or shooter with a hail rifle. Firing a weapon dry without puffer cartridges can cause unnecessary stress or even damage to the firing pin. By using these puffer cartridges in the chamber, the firing pin is safely captured and the weapon's mechanism remains in optimal condition.

These plastic shotgun snap caps feature a spring-loaded firing zone that cushions the impact of the firing pin. This safely relieves spring tension and allows the weapon to be stored responsibly or used for training and instruction - completely without sharp ammunition.

Why puffer cartridges are indispensable

Protection of the firing pin

When firing dry without a puffer cartridge, the firing pin strikes "in a vacuum." This can result in:

• damage to the firing pin

• reduced reliability

• expensive repairs

After hunting, it is customary to clean the rifle and then store it unlocked. By placing puffer cartridges in the chamber:

• relieves the firing pin springs
