Snap caps in Ejector gun?

I would be more inclined to use snap caps in an ejector gun than an extractor gun for the simple reason that their use will considerably reduce the wear and tear on the ejector stop plate in the doll's head. Their use will make little or no difference in a hammerless Parker because these guns can be dry fired all day long due to the design of the hammers/firing pins.

Thanks. So putting them in a 12ga VHE is not a bad idea then? I wasn’t really worried about dry firing, more so about relaxing the springs. Or is that just heresay and wives tales

Yup, basically an old wife's tale.
