These are not a good snap cap for repeated use :bad:
The centre, where the pin strikes, is only a sacrificial bit of plastic. Once you have used it a few times it gets too cratered to offer any further resistance to the firing pin and should then just be binned.

Something like this

you will be able to use time and time again.

Make your own. I made half a dozen dummy rounds and using a bit of old rubber (probably from a tyre), punched out primer sized bits and put them in the primer pockets. Trimmed them with a knife and they worked great for an illustrated talk. When the rubber starts to break up just poke it out and replace.
