Will these S&B 4.0mm percussion caps fit my Pietta or Uberti cap-and-ball revolver?

Yes, these caps feature a 4.0 mm sizing diameter with a ribbed cup design specifically tailored to provide a snug friction-fit on standard European reproduction cap-and-ball revolvers like Pietta and Uberti models in .31, .36, or .44 calibres. They are designed to prevent the caps from shaking loose during cylinder rotation or heavy recoil. However, they are incompatible with firearms featuring oversized US #11 nipples or musket nipples.

Are these Sellier & Bellot percussion caps subject to special transport rules or permits in Australia?

Yes, these percussion caps are classified as Dangerous Goods Class 1.4S explosives and ammunition components under Australian regulations. Retail purchasers generally need to present an appropriate state or territory firearms licence or explosives permit to complete the purchase, and they must be shipped via authorised dangerous goods courier networks rather than standard postal services.

How should I store these 100-pack tins to protect them from outback humidity and prevent duds?

While the manufacturer does not specify strict numerical limits for storage temperature or humidity, industry best practice for black powder components requires keeping them in a cool, dry environment. Avoid exposing the tins to excessive moisture or petroleum-based firearm oils, which can degrade the non-corrosive priming compound inside the copper cups and lead to hangfires or misfires during extended bush trips.

Percussion Caps - S&B V360002

The Sellier & Bellot 4.0mm Percussion Caps provide reliable ignition for black powder and muzzleloading firearms. Housed in ribbed metal cups, each cap contains a non-corrosive, non-mercuric priming compound engineered to detonate instantly upon hammer strike to ignite loose black powder or black powder substitutes. The 4.0 mm internal cup diameter provides a firm friction fit over compatible nipples, preventing caps from loosening or dislodging during firearm recoil or cylinder rotation.

Key Features

Instant Detonation: Delivers consistent hammer-strike ignition for loose black powder charges across traditional muzzleloader actions.
Friction-Fit Ribbed Design: Formed with ribbed cup sidewalls to maintain positive mechanical retention on 4.0 mm nipples under recoil and mechanical cycling.
Protective Packaging: Packed in a secure, compact circular container that shields the internal priming compound from range debris.
Non-Corrosive Chemistry: Formulated with modern non-corrosive and non-mercuric energetic priming compounds.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 4.0mm Percussion Caps 100 Pack for?

Cap-and-ball revolver shooters in cowboy action disciplines — relies on the 4.0 mm sizing diameter to establish a secure friction fit on revolver nipples, preventing unfired muzzleloader percussion caps from falling off during rapid cylinder indexing.
Traditional black powder muzzleloading rifle hunters — utilizes the 100 packaging quantity to supply a full season of single-shot rifle sight-in sessions and field hunts without requiring bulky re-supply containers.
Historical muzzleloader re-enactors — requires the 200 g gross packaged weight tin to easily carry 100 rounds of authentic black powder ignition components inside period-correct range bags and field kits.

Less suitable for: Firearms fitted with nipples exceeding the 4.0 mm internal cap diameter—including larger-tapered US #11 nipples, wide 4-wing musket nipples, or 209 primer ignition adapters—which require dedicated large-diameter musket caps or 209 shotshell primers to prevent seating failures and cylinder binding.
