What's the best snap cap for dry fire practice in a Henry Frontier?

Just watch out for which hillman you get. I bought a box of them only to find them without almost any rim and definitely not enough rim for a firing pin. I had to get the home depot brand to get the correct rim thickness that will cushion a pin strike. Some people still claim they work but not sure how recently they bought them, my experience was from last year from an Ace hardwarelone ringer wrote: Sat Jan 14, 2023 1:20 pm The plastic anchors I use for dry firing are HILLMAN 4-6 X 7/8". They are recommended by other people as well. I have tried cycled them through rifle magazines with success.
A lot easier to use than once fired .22 shells that are harder to insert on rifle chambers and have to be rotated every couple of firing pin strikes.
Thank you for the advice Thauglor, got mine from Amazon last year and now I have a life time supply. They are yellow, their rim is quite thick, they take more than a few hits without getting deformed and extract great from all of my rifles.thauglor wrote: Mon Jan 16, 2023 4:21 pmJust watch out for which hillman you get.
