PS..... i call BS on those caps going off "Every time". ( i got a bunch of # 11's i'll sell you cav....)going to the musket cap was the best thing i ever did. they are easier to handle and don't foul in wet weather as easily.... i live in Orgon...trust me on that one...its eay to do, just buy a muscat nipple and screw it in....your good to go...

Warning! This muzzle loading takes love a devotion to get it down....if you haven't got a bunch of time on your hands and really want another huge hobby...i'd hang it back on the wall and pick your bow back up, or get a 30-30 centerfire....Good luck!
