I have a ted cash capper from 35+ years ago,\Back then they were all brass including the "fingers" They fit quite well onto the nipples of my Remmies and rifle.

The new ones today have a couple different designs on the ends, but are riveted on spring steel and many times too big to fit in the nipple area.

You can either dress out the nipple opening a bit or dress the end of the capper or both so it fits better.

One new capper has a tab over the back side of the fingers,so you can press down on it with your thumb. The other one doesn't.

Best thing if you're looking at a capper, try to find a store that has a couple different ones in stock take your cylinder in and see which fits best.

I prefer a capper myself. Carry two or three, don't have to fumble with caps when out shooting!
