Over the years I have shot literally thousands of #11 caps in the pursuit of my desire to make muzzleloaders performthe best as possible. Perhaps the Remington Arms Cap people have made great strides at now having a dependable working cap. Believe me, this was not always the case. There was a time I refused to purchase Remington Caps. Only because I knew that of a 100 cap tin, about a third of them would be a misfire.

I got turned on to the Vorderlader-Zundhutchen Dynamit Nobel RWS No. 1075 many years go by a friend who actually taught me a great deal about muzzleloading. We flocked to these caps because of their dependability, extra spark, and cost at that time. When suddenly the supply of RWS 1075 dried up we went to the CCI.

I did not like the CCI caps at first. I considered them no better then the Remington actually. CCI must have learned their lesson as they then increased the powder and realiability of the cap and produced a CCI Magnum. These are my second choice of cap when I can not find the RWS.

I will admit about a year ago I was forced to purchase Remington Caps. All other caps in the area were gone. I shot them for a couple tins and had to admit they had made great improvement but were still not as dependable as as the others. The king of the caps IMO are still the RWS No. 1075
