Make your own.

Size and deprime.

Press in the bullet.

Use a hot glue gun and fill in the primer pocket, and when cold trim the excess glue.

Do as many as required.

Cheaper than buying.

might want to color them, or drill holes in the sides of the round so you can visually tell them apart from the ones that go bang and make holes

Careful with that one. They are not really "snap caps" in the respect that unlike centerfire snapcaps, you do not have unlimited dry fire with rimfire snap caps. They will deform the head within 5- 10 strikes of the firing pin, causing it to be unusable.

Just letting you know.

That was a great idea.I tried it and it worked out great.The hot glue when dry ,still has some elasticity yet solid enough to offer resistance to the firing pin.I tried the "eraser" technique ,but found it to be too soft.
