primer carry

[mudcreek]

whats the best way to carry # 11 primers to the woods? not many, maybe 1/2 dozen

Lots of options from store bought to homemade, I mostly use the straight line capper shown for my percussion rifles,

If I'm bird hunting capper on shoelace around my neck. If rifle hunting in rawhide cap pouch.

That just about covers it !!!!
I like the rawhide ''capper''

I have a capper like the first one Dave shows. It worked well and once filled, minimized the manipulations required to shoot the gun.

...homemade....

That's my solution. They're simple leather strips that fit into a pocket on my bag straps. The knot on the end of the whang is good for cold hands, wet hands and gloves.

just thinkin about trash gerring in them. I like the strap leather like the post above. hadn't thought about the inline, i been out of it about 30 yrs

I can see how all of the above will work on a rifle. How about a revolver?

My snail capper works really well. Holds 100 caps, keeps em clean and works on my C&B revolvers as well.

My fingers are huge and this allows my fangers to not fumble around and drop em ... lil nipple huggers anyway. Cold weather be hanged!

I use the flat piece of leather thingy. Has worked forever.

I made these from leather. This is how I carry #11 and musket caps into the bush.

I use speed loader when deer hunting ( not PC). Holds 1 ball or conical/patch or wad/powder/2 caps. 2 caps, for the one that falls in the snow, or the misfire. They still fall in the snow, but no misfires since I've read things here..........

They are like the CVA ones, but hold two caps. I think butler creek used to make them?

I use a circle of leather in the bag that holds about a dozen caps.

There’s been made reference to a cap horn in the past. Can’t member we’re I read on them, but it’s just the tip of a cow’s horn so made in the fashion of a tiny pocket powder horn, yet filled with percussion caps. One of them forgotten things. One could easily be made and would be unique.

I use a small plastic vial or capper or speed loader. Just depends on which rifle I am using

YES this is what I use for my caplock rifles. That Ted Cash “primer magazine” is historical and based off an original, it’s PC. It also works EXTREMELY well and is immensely handy!

I have never hunted with a percussion rifle. But I used to sometimes carry a Ruger Old Army. For that I had a simple leather capper thingy. Never used either.

The top one in the picture works for my 1860 Army.
