Thread: Percussion caps !

Look guys, those toy caps use a potassium chloride mix and it is very corrosive, make sure you really give the gun a good clean as it will quickly set up rust in the bore of any rifle. I always press the cap onto the nipple so it`s hard down on it, and unless it`s a dud cap I get a bang every time, I would hate having to try getting a bit of 4f into the nipple hole while out hunting.

I have a tool that is used to prime the nipple. Makes life real easy
