Why dry fire, buy snap caps. Dry firing could eventually break the firing or on a rim fire break the firing pin,peen the chamber or both. keep in mind The cartridge acts as a shock absorber. This my opinion . Cliff

Thanks for the advise, I don't usually make a habit of dry firing. I have snap caps for all my guns except 30-06 and just wanted to do a quick function check because I wanted to use it for deer season that started Monday here in PA. I have been under a heavy load at work and didn't get it put together until Thursday evening and was to leave Friday morning. I should have been patient and just let it sit this season out. Fortunately no harm caused.
