I watched the videos on the Polish Capper site and really like the design a lot.
Any one here carry them in the U.S.?
My Firewall said no.
Here are the cappers I use, both work fine and hold I'm guessing 80 - 100 #11 caps each. Load once and shoot a long time before having to reload. I hang them on outside of bag when shooting, store them inside when not shooting.View attachment 38906
Hey Ohio, got any pics of your leather cappers? Looking for ideas!I use home made leather cappers, Small ones on a necklass for hunting, longer ones for target shooting. They are just a straight strip with 3/16 holes punched into them with a knife slit out one side. Then two solid leather strips holding the punched strip in a "sandwich". Easy to make and easy to use.
Can you post a better pic of the leather capper?Here's a picture of my cappers.

The inline capper on the left is a pain to load, but will cap a Colt revolver and is close to working on a Remington.
The leather capper holds about 12 caps and is easy to use on most rifles. The large bead adds weight and keeps the capper located around my neck.
You can see a few caps in the Ted Cash Oval capper. The lever releases one cap at a time and the spring holds the cap for insertion on the nipple.
The nose on the snail capper can be a bit too large for some revolvers.
Just wanting to see different ideas. Need to make a couple.
Nice setupThe Cash’s rifle capper makes a swell addition to this late percussion outfit:

It also works extremely well, and is period correct for this type of firearm. No handier way to carry caps for the rifle IMHO.
Here is my very simple capper. I use it for hunting (you're in real trouble if you need more then 10 shots) and when I go to the range. this one is at least 35 to 40 years old and still working. I also included a picture of the rifle it is hanging on.

IMHO the difference of $20 for a Ted Cash and $50 for the polish one means BUY AMERICAN.
I have an original 1861 Bridesberg .58 that uses the large musket caps. I haven't seen a capper for it yet. I have a bunch of the smaller inline cappers. Every time I order one I'm told this is the right capper and it's always too small.Who here uses a capper as an accessory to your Hawken or other percussion long gun ? If not a capper what do you use to organize your percussion caps in your hunting pouch or hunting bag ?
