Another reason I don’t snap caps to clear the nipples (besides being a cheapskate) is sometimes the cap leaves paper fragments that actually clog the nipple for the next shot. This phenomenon is probably related to the shape of the top of the nipple like the amount of flat vs shaarp edge to the top of the cone and whether the cap has a paper or shellac seal.

Since I have 14+ guns, I've been called the Imelda Marcos of Cap&Ball. Now, that's a COMPLIMENT!

Thank you one and all for the help and suggestions.
My solution, with a little counseling, was to simply replace the Slixshot (high$$) with the factory nipples (El Chepo) which all the caps that won't work on Slixshot because Slixshot are engineered for Rem #10 fit just fine. I have a rather large inventory of CCI, RWS, and a couple of tins that may be collector item makes as i have  never heard of the maker but look fine.
At one time I had a die to make caps with beer can aluminum and match heads. If I can find it that should work just fine jut no match heads.
This will work for practice draw, for trigger control, does not hurt the gun and make a very satisfying POP.
Problem solved.
