I've heard some folks say dry firing a bolt action rifle is bad for the firing pin. I've also heard others say to go right ahead it won't hurt anything.
I've broken two firing pins in the last few months while dry firing the rifles for practice. Two different custom action makes involved, one at around 10k dry fire cycles and the other at 5k cycles.
What do you all think about dry firing? Should I expect more failures if I continue to dry fire or has my recent experience been an anomaly?
