Title: CCI VS Remington #11 Percussion cap
Post by: MountainDevil54 on February 03, 2015, 12:39:33 PM

Gorgeous day to shoot! Almost 60 with a very light breeze. Feels about 65* with the sun beating down making you hot and itchy, but still a nice change from yesterday.

Hot Shot #11 nipple added a great deal of higher velocity with the Remington caps VS a standard nipple. My AVG with a standard nipple was similar to the speeds I list for the CCI caps below.

CCI (NON Magnum) 1613 AVG

Remington #11 : 1641 AVG

Accuracy wise it was a tie. 2 out of 3 shots touching at 100 and the shot out of the group was only 3/4" away from the main group.

CCI shot right on the 6 o'clock position of the bulls eye while the Remingtons dropped down a good 1 3/4" lower.

She keeps making me proud every time I go shoot her! I also swabbed between shots until there was just a light blue color on the patch.
