So at what price point is ok to start polishing your ammo? If I paid 800 for a case I think it wouldweb ok to give it a polish.

See? Told ya!
You can always go with snap caps. I picked up a pack of five from Amazon.

You sure did.
I don't like snap caps for one reason. Complacency. I've seen one too many times someone thinking a snap cap is in the pipe when there was actually live ammo. I've had a negligent discharge and it sucks. On modern guns, you're really not hurting anything by dry firing.
I went as far as to contact Springfield about dry firing my XD. They recommended snap caps. But I dont dry fire if I can help it. The only thing they are really good for is learning how to load or clear a jam/misfire.
No dry firing here. Brought up better than that. Smack side the head if ya dry fired a gun at my house.
No problem dry firing most modern centerfires, like you said. But for PNC's wife learning how to load mags, snap caps could be useful, but not absolutely necessary.
The 12ga snap caps I have came in handy the most when I was having cycling problems in a pump.
Anyone here have an M&P Shield? My ex is looking to get a handgun, and that's one that I was thinking about recommending, due to it's size. She's got tiny hands. My first recommendation, being the Glock fan that I am, would be a G26, but she's already shot one of those, and the grip is still too "fat" for her little hands.
The only thing that dry firing could theoretically hurt on the XD is the striker retainer pin. The pin on top of the slide. It's a .10C part.
9mm here. I had a G26 years ago, but had to sell it. It cramped my hand up so damn bad. Funny that the Shield doesn't do that.
The Shield is a sweet little shooter with a sweet trigger out of the box. I've put over 3k rounds through it with not one issue. Love it.
Oh, little birdy told me that PSA (Palmetto State Armory) has Blazer brass and aluminum 9mm at sane prices. Better jump.... NOW!!!
Ah, yes. For loading mags, snap caps for sure. Part of what I LOVE about the FiveseveN is that it loads just like a rifle mag. Push straight down.
I'll own up and say that I use a MagLula for handguns. Amazon.com: Butler Creek 9mm-.45 Caliber LULA Universal Pistol Loader and Unloader: Sports & Outdoors
5 star w/ over 1,300 reviews is very telling.
I'm having issues with my Mossberg 930 SPX not cycling correctly. The loading gate is hanging up on something. Not my problem as it's under warranty.
Snap caps hard to find in quantity so bought " 2" 2 packs yea it's to teach her only, but I might put 1 in a box here and there to test my reaction!
Meeting someone tomorrow 1k rounds 350 dollars as long as the person ahead of me don't buy all 3 cases tonight I guess I need to jump on the deal..

Putting snap caps randomly into a live-loaded mag is another good use, to practice clearing malfunctions quickly while you're shooting.
Take a gun w/ you. Call me paranoid.
This is what I use SCs for.
Call before you order.
