Here is an idea I got from a muzzleloading magazine recently. I think I copied it correctly. The gentleman had a .58 caliber hawken he was using.
It appeared to be a small powder measure covering the nipple so that is what I used. I got a 20 grain fixed measure from TOTW and it fits absolutely perfectly over the nipple of my GPR.
It is held in place by the hammer. The hammer does not sit atop the cover but it holds it very securely. I pulled pretty hard on the leather strap and it wouldn't move.
The measure was too long so I cut about a third of it off with a mini tubing cutter.
This seems like a great way to keep the cap dry in bad weather and when it is time for the shot and you pull the hammer back it simply falls away and hangs from the strap.
