I bought a straight inline capper. CVA for number 11 caps. I have a Remington so the big ones are not supposed to work. The cylinder is very different from my Colt. Any who, it was only seven bucks so I figured very little risk. It holds 15!
I loaded it up and it began to dawn on me that it was at least as hard to load the darn thing as it was to cap my guns by hand. 12 into 15 is 2 something so at the range I was going to be loading it every other cycle. Strike one.
In use it is at least as difficult to get the caps on with the capper, maybe more so. Strike two.
Then, when I push the little plunger, often, not always, two caps shot out into oblivion. Strike three, out.
I may have loaded one cylinder with it, laid it down and shot another 60 or so shots by hand.
Am I doing it wrong? Is it just easier to put the caps on by hand?
