NIPPLE CHARGER

This device deposits 4fg priming powder into the nipple cone for a surefire shot.  To use, place on top of the nipple cone and push down, allowing the priming powder to flow into the nipple cone.  Unlike other nipple charges this one is designed to work with either 11 cap nipples or musket cap nipples.  The top has a hole for a lanyard and will screw off for easy refilling.

Tapered offset style of thick brass or German Silver. for U.S. and metric nipple size. Deflects flash away from shooter. A must for caplock shooters.

NIPPLES

AMPCO Nipples

TRESO nipples are made from Ampco, a tough alloy with a tensile strength of 118,000 psi, which is tougher than most steels used in muzzleloading barrels.  This material provides more resistance to repeated blows from the hammer, and the high thermal conductivity of Ampco alloy affects a faster heat dissipation.  This dissipation reduces erosion of the small base hole and assures a longer lasting nipple. All nipples have a small base hole (.028”) to greatly reduce the amount of escaping powder gases.  Many muzzle loading experts feel an added benefit of the small base hole is the hot gases from the percussion cap are more concentrated and uniformly directed against the powder chamber. Use #11 caps.
