Are there any pellets that work well with the #11 cap? Plus do you still have to use the #11 cap in WA (I'm in AK)?
thanks

You can use a musket cap. Not a fan ofpellets. But I would guess that if any #11 cap would ignite them the RWS Dynamit Nobel caps would be the best.

got a friend swears but the pryodex pellets for his in line and he uses the # 11 mag caps

You will probably need Pyrodex Pellets - they have a small layer of black powder on one end. Load the pellets with the BLACK end down towards the breech.
I would also suggest using #11 MAG caps. And as stated Musket Caps are also legal to use. Another #11 cap you might look at is the Dynamit Nobel 1075+ cap it is the hottest cap on the market.
I really prefer the #11 series of caps to musket caps - if you have the right nipple you can press the #11 cap on so tight so it becomes virtually water proof.

:tup: that is very true and can be a bear to get off the nipple once you get back to the truck . :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Ya, you have to peel them off with a knife blade - but you have got to like knowing that water can not contaminate the cap or the powder...

I use both #11 caps and musket caps RWS and CCI with both pyrodex and tripple se7en pellets in my bighorn and have never had a misfire or hangfire with any combination of any of it.

Be nice if they let you use the 209

Why? If we do it as stated above everything works and we don't need the 209.

There's a lot of things you don't need but when they are more efficient and allow for cleaner burn Id like to use them.

That's true but we are talking about Washington, are state has never has made sense :)

I use pyrodex pellets and #11 cci magnum caps, never had a misfire or a delay
