Is there a 30BR snap cap for dry firing

[Cassidy]

I would like to dry fire practice but to reduce energy on the firing pin assembly I would like to use a snap cap. So far I've not been able to find a 30BR snap cap online. Anyone know where I can get one?

Make one. Stuff a hard pencil eraser in the primer pocket.

or cut off a 308 commercial snap cap a bit less than 1.5", it might work

This should work just fine

I would like to see some evidence that dry firing a modern centerfire rifle will damage the firing pin.

I agree, at least on most. There are some that shouldn't be dry fired but I can't think of a bolt action cf that it will damage. T/C break open single shots are an example of one that should not be dry fired as it damages the fp return spring on those, with repeated dry firing. But most bolt guns? What's supposed to happen...the end of the pin that's in front of the fp stop/shoulder fly off from inertia? Never seen it happen, not once. Even on old Mausers etc that several are well over 100 years old. The shoulder/stop get battered? Never seen that either.
