| Musket Caps? |

The only difference between musket and percussion caps are the size. The musket caps are hotter also. I converted my Knight Predator to musket caps b/c I was having misfire problems. |

It seems I remember reading musket caps have 4-5 times the amount of flash and are 400 degrees hotter than #11's. I use RWS musket caps without the flanges with no issue except I did have to reduce my load 10 grains, than with #11's. I'm sure I burn the charge more efficiently with the musket caps. |

I like the musket caps because there a little bit eaiser to handle when your hands are cold. Also like OPP said they give a hotter start to the powder charge. Sage |

As far as the regulation that says "orginal style," I think it's always been worded that way and musket caps have always been legal. I'm sure they are considered to be original style, just as the #11's are. |

Musket caps have been around a lot longer than #10 or #11 caps. Slenk |
