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.
as long as you can 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
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.

I use in my big horn 150gr pellets with 250gr sabot.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...http://www.jgsales.com/traditions-straight-line-capper-for-11-caps-p-49337.html
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.
Is the capper tool wiser than just placing the cap on the nipple, and 'pressing' the nipple on with the hammer?
unknowingly i got 10.75's from my gpa this year and they were not going on my nipple all the way i figured it out after shooting at a cow, during my permit hunt, it took two wacks with the hammer before the gun fired. lol

As I have suggested before the size of the nipple is important and the use of a good brass capper to push the cap on the nipple as tight as possible is important. You really want to cause the convolutions on the side of the cap to expand and create the seal. This tight seal also directs most of the flame and hot gas through the nipple to the powder.

The will almost fall off. I believe they are actually created that way for the ease of the shooter to remove an unused cap. The 1075 was created to be tight on the post. To the point that I have to use a knife blade to peel mine off if I do not shoot it off.Do you know what kind of nipple (who made it) you have? The only nipple (1/4x28) that I have found that is tight enough for the 10.75 is the bronze nipple from AMPCO. But even that has become a problem lately as the flash hole is to narrow for a Mag Cap - I have to drill them out to 0.030.

I think some of his hand-me-down are that old too
Traditions also makes a great barrel "condom" for keeping the powder dry they call "rain gear". I learned that it's real easy for water to go down the barrel when pounding through wet brush, even if it hasn't rained. I tried those "barrel cots" in the red and black package. They are too small and break really easily. The traditions "rain gear" is much tougher and designed for the larger diameter of a muzzleloader. They also come with tiny little sections of surgical tubes which I guess are to cover the cap. My RWS caps seal so tight, that I've never bothered with them. Also see no need for fingernail polish around the cap. This season my rifle was in the rain for a couple days, but when the time came it went boom!
