Snap Caps - Brass vs A-Zoom

Luke · 08-06-2005, 06:32 PM

I have been using the brass snap caps from Brownells for some time, but the spring-loaded "primer" is badly dented such that I suspect it no longer provides adequate protection for the firing pin.

Recently I saw an ad for A-Zoom snap caps machined from aluminum and utilizing some sort of plastic primer component. They are not cheap; about $16.00 for five pieces.

Does anyone know which of these are better and more durable?

Thanks,
Luke
