My snap caps are just worn out. Can't seem to find snapcaps for 500 Nitro base (470NE, 500NE, 450 3-1/4, etc) Also need for 450-400 and 375 Flange (9.3x74).
I would appreciate any help.
 
i have been looking for 470 NE snap caps as well. just ordered two of the Lothar Walther. thanks for the info.
 
fakebullets.com has a bunch of options, just have to wade thru it to find what you want.
 
I ordered my 500 snap caps from African sporting creations recently.
 
If you got some friends with a reloading press just have them make you a dummy round with some hot glue in the primer pocket

You can do it, but it's inferior to the spring loaded primers on the Lothar Walther ones.

FYI there is a reason why doubles used to come with a piece of hardwood or horn to drop the firing pins against, I've used a piece of horn before the the dents left are substantial; that hot glue or rubber will not last long or offer the same cushion as the true spring loaded snap caps.

Their the exact same snap caps as Lothar Walther.... Just marked up 160% and sold in pairs
($26.40 vs $69.00)

The Lothar website has a very poor picture, but I assure you they are the same.

I'll take the Vortex scope cover you have listed in the Pay it Forward thread.
