A lot of folks will just chamber an empty case for dry firing. That seems like a PITA , one at a time, kind of solution. I've also heard of using those little plastic dry wall anchors (yellow plastic?) that seem to fit just right for that purpose. I've never used those, but some swear by them. I don't know if those are ejected like a fired case or not when working the action.

As long as the firing pin is stopped before contact with the chamber mouth, I'm not going to worry about it much. I will always keep a sharp eye out though for failure of that cross pin stop on my Mark III.
