The hottest #11 I have found is the RWS cap. I have had many many CCI caps fail to fire magnum included. |
| Dirty Mike:
i took a german musket cap and put it in a glass of water for 24hrs then took it to the range, well my grandpa always told me they were water proof along with being the hottest cap on the market, well i loaded my muzzy, pulled the cap out of the water gave it a shake, and put it on the nipple, pulled the trigger and it went off first time with no hang fire |
| Machias:
RWS all the way for me! |
| Hangfire:
I had used the Italian #11 caps for years and that became the problem, it was years since I bought a thousand of them.I had switched to the flint and did not use caps at the rate I had been. They have always been kept in a dry case, but age or perhaps just the moisture in the air has affected them. I was having missfires with guns that had never miss fired. I bought a 100 of the CCI magnum and every thing works fine. When I first got into using a muzzle loader in the mid 70's I had a Zuave. It came with both nipples, the musket nipple installed. I never did have as good of ignition with musket caps as I did #11 caps. |

I have both and I actually like these better! The only misfire Ive ever had was with the German ones, cap went off but didnt ignite the powder. My dad has missfires all the time with his white and # 11's but on his the caps dont even go off? I dont know what his guns problem is?? ANy suggestions? :dunno: |
