I'm not great by any means, but I've found the Wall Drill from Pistol-Training.com to help with my dry firing. The idea is to dry fire with your muzzle about 6-12 inches from a blank white wall; nothing to focus on but your sight picture... makes it very easy to see when your front sight wobbles.
You only heat the plastic to about 250 or 300 degrees, and it cools quick, so it probably wouldn't be an issues, but I've only done it on metal guns. As far as I'm concerned, a foam press is better, 'cause it's cheaper. :)

As you can see, there's actually a crack starting near the head, and the rim's a bit dinged from rough extraction. And the primer is flat flat flat...
Colt Commander in .45 or .38.
Maybe a CCO, since I've recently become a fan of AIWB... Of course, that doesn't really matter, since I can't legally CC right now. *sigh*
Does a fix exist? I've got a pretty bad one, I think; flattened primers, signs of imminent case head separation and what looks like peening at the rear of the receiver that the bolt locks against. (The ruined case is the only one I've shot [with a string to pull the trigger:)] out of the rifle)...
