There's a special kind of frustration that comes from fumbling loose percussion caps in the field, especially when your hands are cold and a deer just stepped into view. The Traditions Field Capper solves that with a compact solid brass body that holds ten #11 caps lined up and ready. It rides easy in a shirt pocket, a possibles bag, or clipped to a lanyard, and it dispenses one cap at a time so you can seat a fresh cap on the nipple without tipping or spilling the rest.
The design here is refreshingly simple. A rectangular tube keeps the caps oriented the right way, which cuts down on the tipped and jammed caps that plague cheaper cappers. You pull the follower back, drop your caps into the loading section, and the spring keeps steady pressure so each cap is presented at the mouth when you need it. Press the follower as caps dispense and you'll get smooth, predictable feeding shot after shot. It's built to fit #11 caps and will generally handle #10 caps too, though it's worth noting some brands of caps run slightly long, so a quick test fit with your preferred caps is smart.
The solid brass construction is the real selling point. It won't crack in the cold like plastic can, it shrugs off years of handling, and it develops that worn-in look that black powder folks appreciate. Most units carry a blackened, non-glare finish, which is a nice touch when you're trying to stay hidden in the timber. A lanyard ring lets you tie it off so it doesn't wander to the bottom of your bag.
If you shoot a caplock rifle or pistol and you're tired of pinching caps onto the nipple with numb fingertips, this little tool makes the job quicker and cleaner. It's an inexpensive upgrade that pays off every single range trip and every morning in the deer woods, and it's small enough that you'll forget it's in your pocket until you need it.
It holds ten #11 percussion caps at a time. The spring-loaded follower keeps them lined up and feeds them one at a time so you can cap up without spilling or tipping the rest.
It's designed for #11 caps and will generally accept #10 caps as well. Keep in mind that some brands of caps run slightly longer than others, so it's worth doing a quick test fit with the exact caps you shoot before you head out.
Pull the cap follower back and set the carry loop over it to hold it, then drop your caps into the loading section with the capper facing forward. When you're ready to cap the nipple, press the follower until a cap moves into the spring area, place it over the nipple, and push it down to seat. Repeat as you work through the ten caps.
A capper keeps your caps organized and upright so you're not fishing loose caps out of a tin with cold or gloved fingers. The rectangular brass tube helps prevent tipped and jammed caps, and dispensing one at a time makes seating a cap on the nipple faster and more reliable, which matters most when a shot is developing in the field.
