Buy an assortment of 'tapered' neoprene faucet washers at the hardware store.
The assortment will provide a perfect fit for any size rifle, pistol or musket nipple.
** For safe loaded & capped carry while hunting, place an over-sized tapered washer on the nipple & place the hammer down & the washer will protect from accidental firing if the rifle is dropped.
If the washer is sufficiently over-sized you will be able to flip the washer off for a quick shot & not disturb your seated nipple.
TIP; I drilled a small hole through edge of the coned washer & attached it to my trigger guard with a length of waxed leather stitching thread, this has worked for years on my hunting rifles & pistols.

**To Prevent Revolver Dry-Fire Damage;
Place a much smaller sized coned washer with a snug fit into the hammer-slot sideways..
