Most Helpful Positive Review Exactly what you need...
Well shaped to spec so they easily load and most importantly unload from the bore. Pros: Perfectly sized Cons: Worry about the longevity of the plastic
Most Helpful Negative Review The 22LR snap caps do more harm than good
I used the Tipton 22LR snap caps to test feed, extraction, and trigger function on my new 10/22 custom build. After successfully running 10 snap caps through my gun a couple of times, the rim sheared off one of the caps rendering it un-extractable. Of course, I didn't immediately realize what had ...

Test function without damage

by Twest, from CA, United States Written on January 23, 2026
These Tipton Snap Caps offers thousands of uses each for safety training, function testing, and stoppage drills, all without fear of damaging your striker or firing pin! You don’t have to dry-fire your weapon with an empty chamber anymore, Snap Caps will cycle through your weapon just as reliably as real ammunition, allowing for a safe and effective way to test function without the danger of live ammunition.
Best Used for:
  • Test function

works as advertised/protects firing pin from damage

by bruna1943, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on May 13, 2018
The snap caps in .223/5.56 work as advertised. They protect the firing pin from damage and are good for dry fire practice (e.g. trigger pull, loading magazines, clearing malfunctions, ejections, etc). Highly recommended.
Pros:
  • Work as advertised/hoped
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Dry fire practice
Would recommend: Yes

Good for what it is

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on February 21, 2011
Both work, though one "ejects" and one merely falls out when extracted from a 700 action. Seem well made.
Would recommend: Yes

GOOD PRODUCT IF IT FITS YOUR GUN

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on April 15, 2010
It is a very good product, but i really recomend to Tipton to build this in 22 LR size. I am using it witha 22 LR rifle with great results, regarding the dificulty of placing the Cap in the bore.
Pros: Great quality, works very well if your arm can use a short .22
Cons: A little trouble using it witha 22 lr rifle.
Would recommend: Yes

.22 "snap caps"

by Legacy Reviewer, from WA, United States Written on February 8, 2010
About the size of .22 shorts, can be a bit sticky in feed tube (probably tip of cap going into hollow center of neighboring cap), all plastic, no spring, will probably need to throw out after a few "shots"
Pros: Help avoid dry firing, when testing or teaching
Cons: Shows firing pin dent, ultimately disposable
Would recommend: Yes

Great .308 dummy rounds.

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 17, 2009
These snapcaps are great. They work how anyone would expect them to work. I have an M1A and they chamber and extract without fail every time. Well worth the money, buy with confidence.
Pros: Work how they're supposed to.
Cons: None, really
Would recommend: Yes

.22 LR snap caps don't chamber.

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 17, 2009
I bought these .22LR snap caps thinking that they would be able to help me train with FTE malfunctions, and the like, in my Sig Mosquito. Boy, was I wrong. They're too short to chamber, so everytime you want a dummy round in there you have to manual put it in the tube and close the action.

There's absolutely no way one would be able to mix and match live rounds with these "dummy" rounds to practice with, unlike the larger caliber Tiptons, those are great. They would just stove-pipe out or not allow the action to close.

Extremely frustrating and not worth the money. If they were long enough to chamber properly this review would be much different.
Pros: They're durable, I guess.
Cons: Too short to chamber. What's the point?
Would recommend: No
