A number of years ago I got my 20 Ga. Reproduction out of the safe to go grouse hunting. I had the gun stored with plastic snap caps, the kind that have a translucent housing that you can see a coiled spring inside it. When breaking the gun open the electors shot the caps out on the floor, but I couldn't find one of them. I searched all around the floor under all the furniture till it frustrated me. Here, when the ejector popped the snap cap out, it sheared the rim clean off and the body of the cap, slide down the barrel and lodged in the choke. I purchased the snap caps from Dillon Precision and decided to contact them and let them know the potential danger of that type of cap. They thanked me and quite offering on the web site.
Ever since that day I have have always looked down the barrel for day light before chambering a round.
