| Musket Caps? |

On page 67, #2 G "g) In-line Muzzleloader: In-line muzzleloaders are legal only if ignition uses original style percussion caps that fit on the nipple." Musket caps illegal now? |
| Curly:
They should be legal...........they fit on the nipple and are percussion caps. But what do they mean by "original style" :dunno:? If they did not put the "original style" wording in there it wouldn't have been as confusing. I'm fairly certain they were just trying to say that 209's are not legal. But why didn't they just say that shotgun primers (209 style) are not allowed instead of wording it like they did? :P |
| Sagedawg:
Good question. You would think that the musket cap would be thought as orignal, since they've been around since the late 1700's. I have adapted my sidelock Hawken to shoot musket caps, I wonder if that one will be illegal now? :bash: Sage |
| CP:
Musket caps, percussion caps, what’s the difference? Are musket caps any better? I’ve had a couple of non-fires with CCI percussion caps (the red stuff had fallen out). I’ve switched to CCI magnum caps and so far they’ve been working fine. |
| Curly:
Musket caps I think are hotter or have more flame. They are supposed to be a little more reliable than #11's. |
