    Dry firing: Even more practical when you can't get ammo.

    Seriously though I've always been big on this. Just plain good to do for all the right reasons.

    Who has upped their dryfire game?

    I have upped my dry fire but on the orange dry fire caps; the rim's are busting around the rims on ejecting. This is on almost all of them. They are made of hard plastic. Does anyone just dry fire with no caps?

    I use home made dummy rounds made with spent primers that I hand seat. I use cut to size pieces of wooden dowel in the cases to prevent bullet setback when running multiple reload drills. The realistic weight of the dummy rounds in the magazines helps replicate the feel of the gun when loaded, which I think helps in the translation from dry fire to live fire.

    I use only nickel cases for the dummy rounds. I fill in the headstamps with orange paint, as well as painting an orange stripe around the circumference of the bullet, just below the ogive. This helps me differentiate them from live rounds. Obviously I don't have any live rounds in the room when dry firing.

    Thanks for sharing!! I will try this out. So you just leave the old spent primer in . Cut a piece of dowel rod put in the casing and then seat the projectile to correct OAL? Also have you made any 5.56 dummy rounds like this as well?
