Seems like a dumb question, like, just put them in a box, but I have many calibers of snap caps and a recent incident caused me to wish for a better storage system, short of boring holes in a piece of 2x4 (well maybe that is the best solution but I would like to hear what others do. So here is the problem:
I got my CA .45 Colt Bulldog out the other day to do some dry fire with snap caps and kept having some of them go under the extractor star when I would periodically remove the snap caps. Of course removing snap caps is totally unrealistic as they do not stick like fired cases will, but today I discovered what happened. I pulled out five snap caps to do some more dry fire. My snap caps are all jumbled in a single box. Well I discovered why some were going under the extractor star--because they were .44 Mag snap caps, same color, same flat nose, almost identical, just a hair narrower.
Well on a serious note, so long as I don't put live .44 Mags in the .45 Colt gun I should be okay, mainly an inconvenience with snap caps.
