Firing/dummyrounds

Page 17 highlights

Lead bullets have a tendency to cause bore leading which may dramatically increase the discharge pressure. Make sure to remove all chamber and bore lead accumulation after each shooting. DO NOT ever shoot cartridges with jacketed bullets through a barrel previously fired with lead bullets before the bore is thoroughly deleaded. Repeated reloading will structurally weaken the case head/web section which may result in case rupture. DRY FIRING/"DUMMY"ROUNDS: If you want to practice aim and trigger pull, insert a FIRED cartridge case or "DUMMY" cartridge in the chamber to cushion the fall of the firing pin and eliminate the chance of firing pin breakage. Hammer fall in connection with the normal use of the manual safety-decocking lever DOES NOT cause firing pin breakage. Your dealer can supply different "DUMMY" cartridges: NOTE: "DUMMY" cartridges with spring loaded "Primer" are excellent but expensive. "DUMMY" cartridges with solid heads are good for loading/unloading and dry firing practice. "DUMMY" cartridges with empty primer pockets are good for loading/unloading practice but DOES NOT protect the firing pin when dry firing. 16
