Musket Caps?

[SkookumHntr]

-Anybody use the CCI four wing musket caps? I wanted the German Musket caps but couldnt find them and was wondering how these worked out for you guys??

The only proplem I had with them is they got screwed up in the capper and jammed up.

-Anybody know where to get the German ones around Centralia or Olympia or Anywhere?

[stumprat]

Doesn't Sunbirds have them anymore?

I didnt see them just the #11's, but i didnt ask either, the outdoor sports shop just had the cci musket caps. On the tin it says for reinactment so i didnt know if there for oregon trail days type guns or Hunting inlines? Im hoping to find the german musket caps somewheres around here, there the ones I want to use!

[carpsniperg2]

The CCI's at Joes work just as well as the german brand.

Have you tired bobs in Longview?  I'll be in Cabela's tomorrow, I'll check if they have them.

I don't like the cci's.  They seem harder to put on in a hurry.  I don't know it seems like the german ones have more punch.  Be patient you will be able to find the german ones.  I always seem to.

Not saying that I know every product Cabela's sell, but I actually work there and when folks have muzzle loading question I'm often the guy who is asked to answer all of there questions.  I yesterday I went on a search, and I came up empty handed!!  No german musket caps.

So the next question you all may have for me is why did it take me 2 years to figure this out , I stocked up on the german caps a wile back and haven't needed to buy more!  When shooting at the range I use #11's for there easier to come by and cheaper and may use just a few musket caps just in case they shoot differently.  Typically when I help customers, most of them are looking for the CCI #11 mag which we carry and the folks looking for the musket caps don't complain about the CCI's and I've never paid much attention to the brand I was handing them.

I'll try the tell the big man that we need to get these German ones!!!  No promises, Corporations are slow, and the bigger they are, seam like the slower.  Mabye we do carry them, and we're just out of them right now...I swear I've seen them there ?

I have use the musket caps  since I started using a muzzelloader and highly recomend them.  I have shot 6 elk, a buck and a cougar with my 50. cal.  What I have found with the capper is to not fill it full.  If there is enough space they will not jam up.  and in a realistic hunting situation you will not need more than a couple of shots.  ( I did have a wreck with one elk that did take more than a couple) bu t that is the extream exception.  If you are concernedjust buy 2 cappers and put 3 or 4 in each.   As far as german or others I have not noticed any difference. 

Shoot straight!  Shoot often!
