Best Capper review...

Help Support Muzzleloading Forum:
I have one I really don’t like . It’s a straight line ... it doesn’t fit the Remington quite right but I thought it should be fine for a double barrel Pedersoli ...but after I would cap a nipple the next cap would fall out onto the ground . Since caps are impossible to buy right now , I was down on my knees trying to find them ... I wanted to try the straight line because I could pull it off to the side leaving the cap firmly seated . My issue with the polish capper is that I have to lift it up off the capped nipples somethings lifting the cap off the nipple in the process. Otherwise the polish capper works well ..

Got my polish capper today. This is the best I’ve ever used, and I have tried them all.

I never used a capper when I used musket caps. They're so easy to handle a capper isn't needed.
I agree as to ease . I was thinking of one to keep a smaller number available in a ready to use capper rather than having them in a case or loose on a table .

Nothing wrong with using a capper for musket caps for all the reasons we use cappers at all. If you like it go ahead and use one.

Used a Dixie GW Musket capper for many years in matches and practice. Much faster and easier than a capbox...c

He is only saying that because its true . Regards Rudyard
For what it’s worth , this is my take.
I tried Thompson Center U View Musket capper and I think it’s horrible.
scheutzen caps won’t slide forward . I’m returning it.
the straight line capper I got for revolvers and shotgun drops the next cap on the ground after capping.
Polish capper has issues when removing it from the capped cylinder in that the cap comes up .
The plastic star capper works well with 10s & 11s on revolver.

So I see that the payment is in Polish Currency, as well as shipped from Poland has anyone had any problems with the exchange rate and shipment problems? I have a Cash Snail and 10's are always side ways when they come out. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Use a currency converter and you'll see what the cost is in US dollars. Do it on the day you buy as the rate constantly changes. Order using your card, hassle free.
Cool, Thanks.

Thanks. I'm looking into it!
I've not found a capper that works well with the 1860 army or the 1851 navy revolver except a par of hemostats or my fingers. With my arthritis my fingers don't even work well all the time.
All the cappers I have bought have been a disappointment in one way or another, even the much touted polish one. Mostly I just struggle with my fingers. Flintlocks are easier for me to deal with.
