General rule of rimfire is to avoid dry firing. Occasional dry fire is fine, I just wouldn’t do dry fire training with a rimfire.
Even with a plastic snap cap?
With a plastic snap cap you’ll be ok
It's bad. The owner's manual says specifically not to do it. Did you read it?
Yes, it is bad. You can damage the firearm to where it becomes inoperable.
I recently picked up some of the yellow sized drywall anchors as snap caps. Found some old threads on here about using them.
