Just got some ST Action Pro snap caps, ran them thru my Fabarm Martial Ultrashort about a dozen times. Figured I'd do a review as my first thread.
Here are my findings.
Construction - they feel solid but very light (14 grams), and seem to be very well made & designed for use in pump-action.
Performance - they "performed" just fine, 12-cycles thru the gun with no hiccups.
Durability - while constructed very well, they are not "real" shotshell brass or hulls. Minor damaged occured, but still function flawlessly.
Price & Availablity - At $1.40 each, they're the cheapest on the market. $14 to my door, for 5 rds. Ordered Monday, received them Thursday.
Summary - IMO, these things kick a$$... You can't buy better for less $ (or even at par), and seem to be better than most of their competition (price & durability) while meeting my own criteria (full-size, not plastic or aluminum).
* they show definate signs of use (or "damage"), but I did cycle them a few times very vigoursly. The ejector left the marks on the bottom of the case only, not the rim/lip, from me "slamming" the action back rapidly I believe.
I looked at other snap-caps, but was disappointed at the reviews that Tipton, MTM, & A-zoom were getting with 12ga caps specifically. Berretta makes a heavier chrome-plated pair for $30 but they're 1" tall, and I found some really nice machined brass units (Pro-Shot : 12SEMI-SC) for $17/pair but only in the States (export problem ?).
