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: --- End quote --- If he is having issues with a White and #11's most common is the cap is not seating on the face of the nipple. Make sure you PUSH the cap on the nipple with force, if you still have the issue take some fine sand paper and sand the circumference of the nipple down until you get consistent cap ignition. Ususally does not take long. White made the tapper of the nipple a tad steep and some caps without force will not sit on the face properly. |

I was getting misfires with the german caps so i am no longer using them. The diameter of the german caps is slightly different than the diameter of the remington,cci's etc. Definitely a hotter, and better cap...but if they misfire they aren't better in my situation |

I prefer the german caps. lot less hang fires and they seem to hold out the moisture better than the cci's ect. They also seem to be a hotter burning primer, wich I like |
