No need for a snap cap in a centerfire.

Thought it might be a little easier on firing pin?Probably not but will know after a little while lol....

Forum Boss:
For extended sessions, we like to use snap caps. It is better than a fired cartridge, and it allows you to practice loading and extracting along with simple trigger pulling.

From WikiPedia:
A snap cap is used to ensure that dry-firing firearms of certain designs does not cause stress and impact damage to the firing pin and/or the barrel breech. Some snap caps contain a false primer that is either spring-buffered, made of rubber or soft polymer, or none at all. The springs or plastic will absorb the impact force from the firing pin during dry-firing, allowing the user to practice trigger pull or safely test the function of the firearm action without damaging its components.

Rimfire and a small number of centerfire firearms of older design should not be test-fired with the chamber empty, as this can lead to weakening or breakage of the firing pin and increased wear to other components in those firearms. In the instance of a rimfire weapon, dry firing can also cause deformation of the chamber edge due to the firing pin striking it without the cartridge rim in between.
