Remington 870 Issue with Snap Caps

Might have to look into them Dummy rounds!

Same here they work. Try dry firing practice at home with live ammunition and see if it jams then

Try dry firing practice at home with... what lol?

Why not go the range, fire "X" amount of rounds and save the hulls? There is no weight to them, but they work. I have actual snap caps too but do not recall having problems with them, besides their weight.

Well due to the 870 design having only a single extractor, the shotgun requires you to cycle it with some authority or else the round could get hung up on the ejector port. Not sure how much force you pump the shotgun, but that maybe your issue.

Your 870 has a rough chamber.
Take some steel wool and polish it
Youtube has some good vidoes on this subject

I have the same problem with my 870 and snap caps. sometimes when I rack it two snap caps will be feed in to the chamber, never happens with live ammo

You may have a chamber that needs polishing.

Take it to the range with some cheap bulk ammo and see if you have any extraction failures.

If you do, hit that chamber with some steel wool.

I had this issue with a new barrel. Both snap caps and live ammo would jam (FTE). I took some steel wool around my dremel and had at it. Now it is rock solid. It sucked shooting trap and having to practically reach in there to yank it out.
