CCI Musket caps

[Lefty315]

When CCI stopped making the older ones I almost bought the current re-enactment caps.   An owner of a local muzzle loader shop told me to steer clear and switch to the German caps.   He told me the new ones (re-enactment) were nowhere near as hot as the older stuff.    I still have some of the older ones I use for plinking but I have been extremely happy with the German caps.

Right on the lid of those CCI caps it says "for reenactment use". I don't if that makes them not as hot or not. But it makes me suspect...

Is this brand new Pyrodex pellet's. I noticed a few years back that Pyrodex pellets don't make it through a year of storage very well and after being in the cold weather in a container that isn't air tight they lose there bang and cost you bucks! So if its last years powder toss it and buy new ones and ALWAYS put them in an air tight container. Not that black plastic box they come in. I don't even use them anymore because of the misfires. Same with CCI primer's. Lowgrade if you ask me and don't even fit well on your nipple...

yeh i just bought the pellets a month or so ago....so they are pretty new....i may just try the loose powder instead....i like the convenience of pellets but if i keep having problems ill have to switch...i agree with you on the cci musket caps! lol need to find what works best for me for my cow tag....i dont really feel like having misfires, i use to hunt with traditional muzzys, but just bought a new traditions vortek...shooting 250 grain hornady sst, great gun as far as accuracy and had no problems at the range (except for one misfire-nipple was plugged) until i took it out in the conditions...but i think being a sabot they let air (moisture) past too...so im hoping the hotter cap and a barrel condom will save me a lot of trouble

I made a mistake a few years ago and bought the reenactment caps, won't do that again. Get the German 1s.

[HoofsandWings]

As long as the path to the powder is clear. I have had no problems.
The path between the cap and the powder fouls and needs to be reamed out.
Personally, my worst experiences were when I sweated.

Anybody know we're to get some of the German#1 locally?

[bobcat]

Try Sunbirds. They had them last time I checked.

I cant find the German caps anywhere, the only caps that Sportsman's Warehouse has are the CCI and just off the bench I had 6 misfires out of 20 rnds on a hot August day. Not very reliable and a definite soft pop when I tried without a charge

[MarkyMark]

Yes. Sunbirds   

[NativeDave]

OK. I have to look up locations on the inet. Never heard of them. Than you

[MarkyMark]

Chehalis.
