I've read a bit here and there about the Tap-o-cap, making percussion caps at home with children's roll caps. Just about everyone agrees that it works, it's just easier to buy factory-made caps. My question is, with the rising price of percussion caps (at least in my area), is this a viable alternative? I mean considering price, time spent, quality of product, etc. For example, if it takes five hours to make a hundred caps and they only work half the time, well, what's the point, right? Right now, I'm paying about $7.50 per tin of 100, and I don't really have the money to buy several thousand from a mail order company, no matter how cost-effective it may be. What does eveyone think? Would I be better off maybe considering making my own?
I love b.p. shooting, but the rising cost of supplies is really starting to put a damper on my shooting.
