I have always used snap caps. It just seems to make more sense to me to dry fire the gun with some resistance at the end of the hammers stroke.Also as previously stated the ejectors are a lot less stressed when firing into a spent shell or snap cap. An ejector gun firing the ejectors against the dolls head stop plate makes me cringe. I guess it boils down to each his own...this has been working for me so I will stay with it....
