I appreciate everyone's feedback. I have snap caps for most of my guns and was using them and then wondered about the wisdom of it. Based on the infrequency of their use in my guns I will accept the additional wear on the springs especially for guns not used as much.

Instead of snap caps, you can slide a wooden dowel down the barrel, then fire the gun while holding it vertically so the pins hit and lift the dowel relaving some if the stress.

Saves you from buying dozens of sets of caps.

Nitrah,
I usually let the firing pins down on a horn block, then assemble the gun with the springs relaxed. It's worked fine for me.
