Has anyone used the German 1075 plus caps? (I f-up and bought 1000)

[bear hunter]

  I screwed up and ordered the wrong primers. RWS German 1075 plus. It said musket but not us musket. Basically I ordered 1000 mag number 11's. I should of ordered the 1081 wingless musket caps. LOL You live and learn the hard way. lol I guess I just have to switch to number 11's for the next 6 years.

In my book they are the best cap made...  I use them exclusively for hunting.  They are slightly hotter than a musket cap and if you have the right nipple they seal so tight on the post - they are water proof.

Actually you did not get #11's you got the best #11 Mag cap made.

What rifle are you shooting?

I switched to them several years ago because they were the only thing that would reliably ignite T7 powder in sub zero weather.

A lot of folks do not know that there is a big difference between #11 caps and #11 mag caps.

Might look through this post....

yes they are # 11 caps  didn't  know they made a mag cap just thought they were the # 11 s they got hard to come by for a time  and wouldnt stay on my Ruger  45 cal wheel guns nipples  so I switched over the the cci #11 mag caps and haven't had a thing to complane about

I have a knight bighorn, TC Black Diamond, two k2000 12g and CVA SxS 12g. I use in my big horn 150gr pellets with 250gr sabot.

as long as you can get  them to stay on the nipple you shouldnt have any problems at all like i was saying the # 11 mags  by cci work good   and these are the German mag #11   there regular #11 caps were pretty good lots of folks used them back east at the shoots and for hunting  so should be a good combo for you

Thanks I just have to switch and pick up some more nipples.

I switched to the RWS per Sabotloader's recommendation a couple years back and they seem to work great. A little stiffer to mount compared to the CCI, IMO, but once on, they stay put.

The RWS Dynamit Noble 1075+ plus cap is equivalent to a #11 CCI Mag - even a bit hotter.  If you get a nipple that the cap fits on tightly and a good brass capper to hold the caps you can press the cap on to the nipple so tight that you will have to use a knife blade to pry the cap off - if you do not shoot it off.

If it doe not fit your nipple tight - get a different nipple.  The 1075 is really a number designation for a cap that measures about 10.75.  So the size of the cap is a little larger than a #10 and a little smaller than a #11, but then again the cap is made in Germany so they use the metric system.

I would really suggest you try to find a cap that he caps fits tight on get a good capper like this...

I usually never suggest anything made by Traditions but this one they really got right...

Adventure Sports has CCI musket winged caps. I figured you would screw up the order. I bought a few extra if you need any.

Just pick that one up and CVA, Traditions, Knight nipples. Thanks

Yep Traditions makes a good capper,

I sighted in my muzzle and the caps worked perfect. I can't wait for deer season to start.

I am not sure what the fascination with musket caps it.  But they really seem to be the choice in the PacNorWest.  I could understand it when the Musket caps were hotter than #11's, well they still hotter than regular #11's, but with the advent of the MAG #11's that is no longer a fact.  One thing some have problem with is that you can not handle them and post them with your fingers - you really need a capper but again that is the beauty of them - if you use a capper and you have the right nipple you can post them so thigh they become water proof.  If you keep the powder dry - they will make the rifle go boom even in sub freezing weather - more so in an inline than a sidehammer unless you tap the powder out under the nipple.  Cold dead air spaces are really hard on a cap ignited rifle.

I personally have not tried musket caps, but found out the hard way with regular # 11 vs Mag #11. On a cold wet day even if your powder is 100% dry regular #11 can  fail. I had a failed ignition on a buck when I first started out with muzzy, and quickly figured out my problem. Since then the Mag #11 haven't let me down yet.
