Description
You’re on the line, the deer is broadside at 80 yards, and your percussion cap just crumbles in your fingers. That moment of fumbling frustration—the difference between a clean harvest and a missed opportunity—is exactly what the Thompson Center Capper, Inline Musket is built to eliminate. This isn’t just an accessory; it’s a force multiplier for your muzzleloader, designed to deliver reliable ignition when it matters most.
The Thompson Center Capper, Inline Musket is a dedicated, precision tool for safely and efficiently loading percussion caps onto the nipple of inline muzzleloader rifles. It streamlines the reloading process, protects caps from moisture and damage, and ensures consistent, reliable ignition in the field. This tool is engineered for shooters who demand repeatable performance from their black powder or muzzleloading firearms.
When it comes to muzzleloader season, preparation is everything. Your shot depends on a perfect chain of events: powder, projectile, and a pristine #11 percussion cap seated perfectly. The Thompson Center Capper removes the weakest link—human fingers. It holds multiple caps in a protected, internal magazine, feeding them one at a time directly onto your rifle’s nipple. This means no more dropped caps, no more pinched fingers, and crucially, no more contaminated primers from sweaty hands. The action is smooth and positive, giving you tactile confirmation the cap is seated. At a price of $18.98, it’s an investment in certainty.
Constructed from durable materials, this capper is built for the realities of the hunt. It fits out of the box with no gunsmithing required for most popular inline models. The design is intuitive: load the tube, depress the plunger, and the cap is guided securely into place. This is especially critical in adverse conditions—think a cold, damp Missouri morning where dexterity fails and every second counts. The tool keeps your caps dry and ready, turning a potential liability into a controlled, repeatable process. Look, your muzzleloader is only as reliable as its ignition source.
