Does anyone make a snap cap for the 450/400 3"? A-Zoom makes one for the 450/400 3.25", will that work in the 3" chamber?

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Allen, If Trader doesn't have them, just get a pair of the ones sold by Galazan, for the 450 Nitro express! They are short,only about 1 1/2" long, and are not long enough to interfer with the shoulder area of the 450/400 3", or 3 1/4" They come either nickel , or gold plated!

Galazan are US agent for kynoch. they make for both the 3" and 3.25" case (the latter has a thinnner rim than the former) if none are in stock with Galazan just send an e-mail to Kynamco asking they shipt to you a credit / debit card order and they will be on there way, no restictions on shipping as they are simply component"

I called Kynoch and got mine from them. Call and speak with David Little, he is a great guy to speak with and will get them out quickly.

Why not use a spent round and make a dummy round?
