Hello internet. You may find a question about snap-caps being in the reloading forum strange, and I can explain. In short, I want to make some 8x56mmR Spitzer snap-caps for my M95. The idea I had was to get a spent case, remove the primer, reshape the casing and press a bullet into the casing-- like reloading, but skipping all the explodey bits. Do y'all reckon this would make a viable snap-cap for me to use so I'm not fiddling with live ammunition? |

You can also nick a little nail polish and paint the case head, too. SW |

What is silicone caulk and liquid nails used for in this scenario? To hold the round to the casing?? |

You apply it where the primer goes to absorb some of the firing pin movement. Bullets are held in place by tension of the case mouth. SW |

Clean the case neck & put a little epoxy inside then seat the bullet. That will hold it in place even after multiple chamberings. I side drill the cases too, but paint, stain or something will work too. For the primer pocket & gouge the old one out & glue a small cylindrical pencil eraser in the pocket. you can get them cheaply at office supply stores. |
