bigcountry ,
it ain' t bragging if you' re speaking the truth . I' m very anal about keeping my rifles clean , and only a defective cap would change that . Pellets caused me some worry since they are harder to ignite than loose powder , but the good ol' #11s have performed flawlessly .

eldegulleo ,
nobody' s arguing that a 209 is hotter than #11 or musket caps , it' s a fact that they are . My position is that they are not necessary , and sometimes undesirable in an inline . Regardless of what anyone says I refuse to believe that they confer any advantage in igniton except maybe with pellets . Sidelocks would derive more benefit from them than inlines . PS: excessive use of exclamation points is similar to keeping the caplocks on while typing in e-speak , I heard you just fine .
