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. What about Trader Keith snap caps in a newer Heym?
you can drill out the primers/snap caps so that they can rebound, and still practice dry firing
 
unasked for update:
I was at the range with Rigby's last week with Jerome who designed and built their Shakiri double rifle, using his own Shakiri, the prototype he designed and built... He was of the opinion that you should always use snapcaps regardless of what Chapuis says

Unasked for context:
My double rifle is back at Chapuis for a factory inpection and repair having broken two firing pins this year dry firing on empty chambers. They say they replace a total of two pins a year across all their customers and all their lines, hence the inspection and warrenty repair.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
