    Snap Caps

    Thoughts on Trader Keith snap caps for use on double rifles? I have a newer 89B and a 20 year old Chapuis. I love the idea of practicing firing, ejecting, and reloading but the last thing I want to do is harm the firing pins. So from prior posts it sounds like it is a no-no for Chapuis...

    New Rifle & some reloading advice sought

    I have a Chapuis 9.3x74r, 2005 build date, so maybe much different with more modern versions of the rifle. It is regulated to shoot 285/286 grain at 2280-2290 fps and doesn't seem to care if it is mono or lead based. It shoots factory 285gr PPU and handloaded 286gr TSX at basicaly the same...
