old new guy

[lone pine]

hi. I just got my two new Uberti revolvers and looking for all my old gear. I haven't shot seriously since Navy Arms/Western Arms was still making quality civil war-era pieces (like the cook and bros carbine and Tucker & Sherrard revolvers). Looking forward to shooting soon. Can someone please tell/show me how to load a snail capper? Got all my straight-line cappers loaded but this snail capper is got me stumped.
thx

Can you open it? Once you open it, just put your caps in it. Shake it a little and the caps will automatically turn with the hole up. Make sure you have it in the correct side.

ok. I'll give it another shot.
thank you

Unless yer shooting an unaltered Remington copy or a Ruger Old Army, after using that snail capper you'll never want to use any straight-line capper again. Hate loading those things, you can fill a snail capper and shot all day if you fill it.
