BACK IN THE 1800'S I CAN'T REMEBER WHAT WE USED IT HAS BEEN SO LONG AGO - BUT TODAY I USE A COMBINATION OF BRASS AND PLASTIC INLINE CAPPERS AND RUBBER ROUND ONE, MADE A LEATHER WITH SIX HOLES IN IT FOR THE CAPS, BUT LOST IT IN THE WOODS HUNTIN I STILL LOOK FOR IT WHEN I AM IN THAT AREA. THEY ALL WORK GOOD I THINK. I JUST LIKE HAVING FUN.

If I remember correctly caps were still not well distributed when we were younger even though many folks had started converting their flinters to percussion.  Not me!  Even years later, after the war, when guns started using these metal cartridges I still preferred flint.  It was well after that I finally got a percussion gun and started using caps.  I just got settled in when they came up with this "smokeless powder" - as if that was some kind of improvement.  Got both cap and flint, now, and figure there's a time and place for both.  Just never developed much interest in metal cappers.
