I found these on amazon and decided to see if they would work for my black powder long guns and or revolvers.
They DO.
They are plastic, so they stretch and work on #11 or #10 nipples. They dont fall off the nipples on my 1858 remy or my 1851 colt like the #11 nipples do either.
When fired, the hammer does punch out a small "dot" of plastic that sticks in the end of the nipple, but it dosn't seem to cause any issues.
I forget just how much I paid for these, but I do know it was less than the "normal" caps I have been able to find lately. And they are much less hassel than trying to use #11 caps on my revolvers.
They also seem to be more powerful then standard caps.
