Differences if switching between #11 to Musket caps

[Sabotloader]

I was thinking about making the switch to musket caps and heard that you may give up some accuracy making the switch does anyone know is there any truth to this?

To be honest with you I have never seen that... but I can not say that I have actually sat down and tested it.  I know my hunting partner shoots a TC Hawkin 54 cal and he made the switch from musket to #11 mag in the middles of season when we found the Nobel 1075+ cap and it did not change a thing on his gun...

Never used the #11 Mag's probably was a lot of my problem with misfires.  I've never had a problem with the musket caps, but if I do I will definitely put the #11 nipple back on and try out the Mag's.  As far as accuracy goes, NO difference what so ever.  My black diamond still drives tacks just the same as it did before.  I've also never used a capper, gonna hafta look into getting one of those bad boys also, I hate fumbling around and dropping the caps.

Not a scientific observation, but I have noticed fewer misfires with musket caps.  A lot more of the fulminate compound, or whatever percussion-ignited chemical it is, in the larger cap, I suppose... happy hunting this fall, everyone!  Just a week to go!
