flipping caps in capper

[canuck4570]

I have a remington capper
after loading it I have noticed that during loading of a cap on to the nipple some caps inside the capper flipped on there side and jamming when they get to the loading port at the end of the capper ... so I have to take them out and reload them .... what a pain...
what good capper would you recommend... I have seen a couple and the possible shop but would like your expertise on the subject... thank you canuck (I call it remington capper and some of you cal it a straiht capper)

I found this one to be a good capper.[url] https://secure.tcarms.com/sto...revaction/category/previd/33/prevstart/0[/url]/

Ted Cash makes excellent cappers.

I agree! I have a pair of the Ted Cash teardrop shaped cappers and use them for everything that takes a cap. I like the fact that one can just pour a whole box of caps into it, shake it a bit, flip the stubborn ones over with a toothpick and close the lid. I can load 100 caps into the Cash capper quicker than 10 into an inline capper.

There are size variations in different brands of caps. You might try a different brand of caps to see if they will work good in your capper. If they aren't better then you have not lost anything because you can always use a good supply of caps.

I agree, those Tedd Cash cappers are super value for money. I really like them. I tried those Colt and Remington inline cappers but now only use the tear drop.[url] http://www.tdcmfg.com/cgi-bin...17443*sG39N1&p_id=CP&xm=on&ppinc=search2[/url]

The TED Cash rifle cappers are a excellent product for the money. I own two i keep one in the pouch and a spare in my shooting box just in case it needs to be borrowed. :grin:

I used a straight line capper, couple different makes. They are hard to load, easy to get the caps in sideways or upsidedown in the loading of the tube. Spread too much at the tip or the cap turns sideways. Went to a Ted Cash rifle capper, the oval shaped one. Very easy to load. Caps hard to fit onto the nipple from it. May turn sideways or dent one side. I have trouble using it. I do not have a capper that I like. Have made them from leather and they work but are slow to load. OK for hunting but few for bench shooting or testing.

I have a brass and leather one marked "MAC", a pretty standard circle of leather holds 10 caps and the leather "wheel" rotates inside of a kind of folded over round brass cover. It works well for rifle. Seems to protect the caps well. I doubt if it's PC but quite handy in the field.

Thanks. I should mention that the main cause of trouble fitting caps is I have flash cups on my rifles.

Sometimes I will keep caps in one of the little "under your tongue" nitro pill brown screwtop bottles (1/2" x 1") so I don't throw them all over the place when I pull the top off one of those cute tin containers. I actually use my fingers.. yes, fingers.. to place the cap. Works well for me except when its cold.. always a downside.

Next time on the web, I'll seek-out the Ted Cash cappers...every other straight-line capper that I own is always problematic, so I just gave-up for the warm months and do everything with my fingers.

Does Cash make one for Colt Dragoons & my Walker?

Thanks,

Dave

used a stick capper once----when I went for caps the capper was almost empty---they fell out & the capper went into the trash--- :thumbsup:

I use one similar to Christiaan's don't remember the brand but they are very close to each other. I love my capper, used to go by hand until I tried it. Now I always keep it with me. The caps never flip or get dented and it is relatively easy to load.
