Percussion Cap Information Charts
« on: February 27, 2021, 12:38:31 PM »
I find that with all the information sporadically available about different percussion caps, I have not found a source that puts it all together in one spot.

This may not cover everything available, but it suits my interests very well.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Jim

That is the best gathering of cap/nipple info available. Thanks for sharing it here Jim.

Hopefully we don't get chewed out for it. I have seen this posted elsewhere on the interwebs, and have heard the person who compiled it is very protective of it.
