A-ZOOM - RIMFIRE DUMMY ROUNDS

If you're checking the function of a gun or just wanting to let the hammer down to take the pressure off the spring, this is what you need. You can even check firing pin strikes on rim-fires without hurting the pin or the breach face. this allows you to do everything with your gun without fear of the dreaded BANG in your house. Cheap insurance for handling.

I am a gunsmith and have tried several different dummies. These are by far the best i have use. I also use them for training exercises conducted with .22LR, they simulate a malfunction wonderfully. would advise any one hunting a good dummy to try these first and forget the rest.

they work very well for a proving round IF you're feeding from a detachable magazine rifle/pistol. the bottom of these dummy rounds are hollow and have a hole in them. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why this is a problem in a leveraction. the nose of the round you attempt to feed gets stuck in that hole of the following round and won't allow the round to feed up and into the chamber. it straight nose-dives and requires a tool to push the round back into place and then cycled close. a friend of mine has reported similar problems in his 10/22. it baffles me as to why they put a hole in the bottom of the round when just making it solid would solve these problems. they do function fine in my ruger mark 3 pistol and in my dad's bolt gun with a detatchable magazine. they also work well for teaching youngsters or new shooters firearm safety. if you make sure you keep these problems in mind and use these in a system that the hole in the bottom isn't an issue, they work well. just be sure not to dry fire them as they are NOT snap caps.
