Making Caps

[Mike 56]

I have been making caps a few at a time I have been using a snap-off utility knife for me it has been slow going cutting the caps off the paper. I got some carpet trimmer blades out of my carpet box they worked great. They are like a utility blade but tinner and way sharper and they have a chisel edge. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Personna-Carpet-Trimmer-Chisel-Blades-10-Pack-61-0146-EACH/100193906

One of them paper cutter would be nice to have, seems like every office and school had them but not anymore.

I bought them at Walmart years ago. I think they only sell ring caps now.

I made a bunch of caps today the acetone and Duro glue worked great. I also rigged vinyl tubbing so I can use small pistol primers on my NMA. Next week I am going out to the farm to test them.

.22 reloader website. If you do a google search it should pop up. They sell them on their site and ebay too.

You should be able to use a normal paper hole-puncher to separate the cap from the paper.

I did a write up for using roll caps. Here it is if you wanna take a gander.
