eBay “tap-o-cap”
« on: May 06, 2023, 05:41:49 PM »
I noticed sone one is making and selling a percussion cap making die for about $25. On eBay.  It looks very professionally made.  The instructions say it is only for a snap cap use. I might check it out.  It uses soda can or roasting pan metal. It produces a cap the same as my star board, or the 6 shooter die. The sell #10 or a #11 die
Oh and a musket cap die.   It appears to be plastic so has a limited life.

Caps are the weakest link in the C&B supply chain so self production makes a lot of sense.

Never hurts to have a spare in your "possibles bag".
