I was wondering if there is any way to tell how reliable a cap could be by visually inspecting it.
I don't know how many here get cap failures, but if it happens it is certainly annoying and if you are hunter it could be dangerous.
Aside from obvious issues to a bad cap, I would figure looking at the internal medium and see if there is any chipping, or possibly checking caps with a depth tool or micrometer.
I would just like to find out the best way to separate the good from the bad and choose out only the best caps to go with me in certain situations, then use the lesser caps for things like plinking or varmint shooting.
Is this possible, or just a carp shoot in hoping that every cap would be a good one?
