Thanks Jim,

I'll look up that book at some of the used bookshops around here. You are not missing anything in not using a capper. Since they do not squeeze the caps, they regularly fall off.  I'd only use one on a pistol if I was so scared to death that I could not hold a cap.  A significant danger to loose capping is that when a cap falls off of a revolver cone, it may present a greater danger of a chain fire than an un-greased tube would.

I also agree with you on the difficulties of capping on horseback. It must be a perfected art honed my many patiently spent hours of practice which I have never attempted.

-Dave
