Percussion cap tins

[Eterry]

The new tins I open with a knife or thin bladed screwdriver and transfer the caps to a well used and easy to open tin for use.

In the mid 70s Dad bought me some metal tipped pellets for my airgun. I saved the metal tin, it's a larger diameter than a musket tin, but the height of #11 tin.
I have transferred caps into it for 44 years. Like the kid I was i scratched the German made label from the lid.
I wish I'd left it now.

This is the little tin of caps I use in my shooting bag. the deerskin pouch keeps the lid secure and helps keep the tin from banging around with the lead balls.

Hopefully you also consumed some of Heidelberg's liquid refreshments while there?

Ditto on the Cash Rifleman's capper. It will hold almost a whole tin of caps. Haven't been bored enough to count, but if I had to float a guess, between 70-80.

Shoe polish tins work very well. Especially the older style with the thumb twist. Great for storing patch grease also.

Altoid tins work well too.

I struggle with Remington #11 cap tins. Once off, I dump them into an old
Benjamin air rifle screw-top round can.

They have allot to choose from there I've been looking at...

And the tubes are the same.

Custom logos even.. get a live free or die on there. don't tread on me.
