Is it bad to dry fire a centre fire rifle? I have heard it is bad to dry fire a rimfire. I am adjusting my trigger and i dont want to stuff the firing pin on my rifle. So i just want to know if i can or cannot dry fire my rifle.

Cheers

; For years, dry fire practise was the best way to practise prone, kneeling and standing position shooting in the living room during inclement weather. It will not hurt most centrefire actions. Many rimfire firing pins hit the chamber's rim recess if there isn't a case chambered. Some rimfires are safe to dry-fire as the pin stops short and doesn't overlapp the rim recess, many aren't.
